Quote:I can't speak for Boston, but from my experience, whenever the floor has lost confidence in a vehicle/manufacturer it's a recipe for anger and resentment and a PR nightmare (example if next time one of the involved trucks breaks down/doesn't make a fire and it becomes headline news)
So If they sold them the new buyer would have to deal with the same issues. Which means they new buyer must get them cheap enough to fix them. I must say it seems like a new motor is alot cheaper than a new rig. Seems like they will do anything to get the new and latest and greatest carrot.
I find it refreshing when a city/chief listens to the floor and studies its breakdown history and makes a hard decision to start over. In the days of multimillion dollar lawsuits when a fire go wrong, tossing these bunch of rigs might actually be cheaper.....
I don't think its about the latest and greatest carrot but an interesting debate....
