The big freight fleets are mere shadows of themselves on the roads now. Trucking relies much more on owner/operators like myself these days. Most of my contacts are holding on to their old rigs longer now due to the uncertainty in the business.
I bought a new International last year, and will hold on to it for at least 5 years.
2007-2009 was really hard for the truck markets in general. Thought we were going to get a pickup coming out of last year. Things have tanked in the last quarter though. Lots of smaller fleets didn’t make it.
