Todays fleet trucks where do they go

Just wondering what happens to all the modern fleet trucks like Fox, Kalari, Scotts etc,etc. As you never see any of them for sale with all the signage on them or colours.

? Are they repainted before being sold
? Do they get scraped.

Just wondering.

They sit around till they can be put on club plates and displayed if the last that long.
Actually seen some First Fleet on for sale and sometimes along Geelong Rd at Mahiems for they have been some.

They don't die. They become body trucks and water carts and work close to home before becoming farm trucks.

Seen some of the Linfox & Bulkhaul prime movers at Volvo Chullora that are being decommissioned at the moment.

All stickers etc are removed then they sit around for months and one day they disappear :'( :'(

We do the same with all our equipment all markings are removed signage painted over or curtians removed and they are then sent off to auction...

A lot of the big mobs have like a trademark or copywrite on their colours. You will probobly find it is part of the contract that they are not on sold in the company colours.

A lot of the big fleets either lease them or buy them with garaunteed buy back price and maintenance package. Not like the old days where they buy a truck and keep it forever. 5 years is a long time for a new truck.

Seen a few ex Finemores with tipper bins and a dogs around Sydney. And a few of GCT the same way. There are a few ex GCT at the moment for sale at Greystanes (Girraween) NSW .

So do they get a respray as well.

Not the two that I posted. Could still be easily recgnised.

All Linfox/Tolls trucks are painted before there re-sold again. There usually bought by dealers who put a cheap tipper on them and sold.
My brother subbied for Linfox and they wouldn't let him even put an old mudflap on back the front.

I wonder why any self respecting od would want a linfox name anywhere near their truck, considering what LF has done to the industry.
