    Terry yes it was but I was broke after totaling my truck and trailer in Montana. I was happy to work a decent job. Truck ran good but not for running the coast 237,5 speed tag axle 24" sleeper I could not fit in only for log book I slept across seat out and back. Scale man in Montana Crow Reservation Scale pulled me around back one Sunday evening. I asked him whats wrong. he said nothing he just wanted to see what man would drive that across country.I do not remember truck ever having a breakdown under load.

    And I thought I was roughing it running a 237 5 speed day cab between New Jersey and Michigan twice a week

    UPS tried keeping tractors 20 years, found out the repair costs were too high. They then planned on replacement after 9 years, but in practice that got extended out a bit. Right now UPS has been buying new tractors like crazy, and I don't see UPS CHs very often... UPS switched from the CH to the CX around 2003.

    I pulled containers out of a rail yard where UPS also pulled out of and the way some of them drove I can understand why repair costs were high
