| Comment | I ask that you seriously take into consideration the fact that not
all trucks are created equal.
Our diverse fleet of construction (Vocational) trucks experience
very low use compared to those drive all day long or even around
the clock. The vocational trucks I am referring to usually drive
from our office/yard to job sites within a 50 mile radius and are
parked on the job all day with the engine off. These specialized
trucks are essential to our operation and can last more than 20
years due to the low mileage they are driven. Many of these
specialized trucks are equipped with bodies or attachments that are
very expensive to transfer to a new replacement chassis which adds
to the total replacement cost that your staff does not understand.
Trucks that are equipped with just a fifth wheel hitch are very
economical to replace, unfortunately we only have one of these
trucks.
We simply can not afford to replace or even retrofit our trucks
unless business improves drastically before we are faced with
compliance deadline.
Please call if you have any questions.
