I just found out that the total life of the trucks where I am right now has been increased to 150k hours from the 120k hours it that was originally set it at about 10 years ago.
What is the expected hours they are hoping to work those trucks in a years time? I know they are not going to be run just 40/50 hours a week then be parked for around 4 months due to snow like many of the machines at the quarry where I retired from five years back!
In some cases running a machine close to 24/7 can be easier on it than what our machines had to deal with, no cold starts every morning or condensation on cylinder liners from sitting for a a few months over the winter.
