The whole thing is much more complex than what I'm publishing, for starters I'm paying $1.24 Canadian a liter for diesel which equates to $5.58 a gallon. The crane truck hauls a decent load but the cost of my fuel is taking a big bite out of pocket.Originally Posted by corycouch
I know you know this Gus, every time we think we got all the cars the phone starts ringing, one thing is sad but true every car has to drive its last mile sometime, I just hope I get to give them ALL their last ride
From the last safety inspection I already know the front brake drums and shoes will not pass this next time around , drums are an oddball size most drums would cost around $100.00 or less these are $600.00 each then you have to buy the shoes and service kit.
On my next birthday I'll be 63, I'm required to do a medical which would hold me until my 65th B-day then it would be a yearly thereafter.
So I have decided to surrender my class 1 air, sell the crane truck with expensive maintenance and parts and poor fuel mileage to pull a trailer which for me is more convenient being able to move my loader around.
I still have the white metal pile on the Reserve to clean up which is a job for the loader and a trailer with plenty of deck space. Dodge diesel is much more economical to drive and has lots of jam, I've got the 2nd gen Cummings.
