I’ll bet the got numbers on all sorts of things like fuel economy between and operating costs between different manufacturers of trucks. I was watching some YouTube dummy today with his big square Pete getting 5.25 mpg saying it was no big deal because he just passes the extra cost on too the broker. I’ll bet that’s working out real well about now.... not.

Every time I go to HQ, I visit and ask the maintenance shop what I can expect next for failures and things my truck is going to face. There has been countless times they completely predicted the things that I have seen, and at just about the mileage they said it was going to happen as well.

The maint. schedule I created as an example in my book (also shown HERE ) was based on both the maint. schudule for a prostar, combined with many of their experiences and recommendations, and I also included a lot of what I have seen many times over on people's trucks myself as well.

I use this maint. schedule and am very thorough about filling it out and keeping after the things in it. - It has save me lots and lots of money and kept me away from a tow hook countless times.
