700 Million to YRC Earlier This Year.

When I was a can hauler we would slip seat, like literally one driver gets out and the other was waiting to get in didn't matter what truck showed up while you were waiting, the next truck in the yard was your truck.
Shit would get busted up and garbage pilled up on the passenger side. Nobody ever knew who was the cause of it.

The owner made a lot of money this way and he worked around the clock himself. He died a wealthy man :rolllaugh2:
Mileage and wear racks up fast when they're run at or near 24/7/365 and no one is held accountable for damages.

Figure average 50mph times 24 hours that's 1200 miles a day. 8400 a week. ~400,000 a year. I know it's not exactly that solid but still it's a helluva lot more than an OTR truck.

Our trucks pile on mileage like crazy too. Especially the rotation program trucks. The 5 day trucks run a little less.

Difference is, we wash and maintain them, and the interior should be kept pretty spotless.

The slippery-do-dahs at Pumpky are high mileage already too.

Can't deny they get their money's worth though. Those trucks probably pay for themselves in a year or less.

At least they're in a useable spec for a second hand sucker to give them a run though.
