Re: Age of truck

To first answer the question - yes.

Second there are many factors involved in why a company would turn down an older truck - so far I have been told;

Reliability of the truck
Dependability of the driver (Jason is right about this)
Insurance won't insure the fleet

But by far the one excuse I have heard is the company wants to impress the customer - may be why some apartments on wheels do well while older units don't

Politics is a game of engagement

In order for you to change something you don’t like, to change something for the betterment of your country or to change just for the need of change, you must be involved, engaged and vocal.


So don’t blame me if Congress passes laws that affect you, your family or your rights

Be Engaged!
