nomis78 Â Â 10 #17 Posted March 17, 2009 Strange that..... Â not at all, the company that used to do ours when i was in school used to have the same problem. Â One of the drivers once told me that the majority of the problem was that the company bought old junkers originally destined for the scrap heap, did them up enough to pass the tests and make them road worthy then sent them out. Â average lifespan on the busses, something like 2 months before it got took back in for service. least thats what i got told, nothing to back that up though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
