^^----this lol! My brother was in CDL class with a guy who ended up working for that company for about a year. He said the aesthetics (basically make sure the truck was washed at least once a week) were more important than the maintenance. He was constantly having issues on the sub 300k truck he was driving. His superior would tell him not to worry about the dash lights; Call when the truck stopped pulling...

“Too much chrome”

I mean chrome is fine but make sure your equipment is ready to make you money…… everyone loves those big stretched 389’s and w900’s with every piece of chrome that mid eastern sells on it, but when you have to run the blow by pipe out the back of the truck to get the fumes away from the cab then your priorities are screwed.

They don't care, they get all the best use out of it and then they sell it.
