We retire perfectly good Sterlings every year. Good for the city I should say as I don't want roll one at night. If we are going to grow into the company I think we can and should become, they definitely need to keep some of those Sterlings and keep buying new Freightliners.

The older trucks are grandfathered into older emissions requirements as well.
 
I guess. You can tell the age of Con-way ( XPO ) equipment by the number. I never bothered to learn how that works.

The first digit after the dash is the model year. 432-0668 is a 2010. 432-7316 is an '07. You didn't notice that all the new automatics this year start with 5?

I drive a 2016 city tractor ( according to the paperwork ) it was delivered in March or April but the number is XXX-55XX. So I guess this system is based on the year the equipment was received and not the year it's titled for?

Thank you for explaining this.

I forgot to include that I have seen exceptions.

What did they do for the 2001 and 2011 tractors? Same with 2005 and 2015, etc..

Anyone know what the 432, 532, 632 means?

If our company wasn't secretive hiding stuff behind doors; they could say where the newer trucks are going, when trucks get retired, etc..
 
432 is just a normal truck. 632 is a complete refurb. never seen a 532. If you see an 05 and a 15 and can't tell which is which, well, then check the odometer.

I wonder what the 0**, 132, 232 trucks are or if we have them. I know we have 332's. Typically, in my experience 332's are complete refurbs with a radio usually and 7-speeds.

Well yes on the 332. I was under the impression all the 632s were rounded up and turned into 332s.

Do forget the 478 city units.

True! I wonder why they chose those numbers for those trucks and what it all means and such.

I've saw researching on the net of pictures of old consolidated trucks/trailers and they seem to have similar numbering schemes.

Must be something they carried over like tons of other things.

I've seen a few old cf trailers in people's yards around here, same sequence.

Check your history. 432's were used by CCX, 632's were used by CSE, I believe CWX used 832's. If I'm wrong on CWX, I will stand corrected.

CWX was 532 for line power Sterling, 524 for twin screws, and 578 for city power. With the intoduction of the freightliner we now also have 432s, 632s, and 478s.

We have 2012 Freightliners that we got new in 12 that are 632s and I'm in CCX territory. I think the 632s are later in the year releases.
 
At my barn in CCX territory the 478 and 578 are city kitty's and the 332 are refurbished sterlings, and the 432,532 and 632's are all road tractors. I've seen all different years of Freightliners Share the 432, 532 and 632 prefix.

So it's settled. Nobody knows. And it don't make much sense. But it is uniformly consistent, to a degree.
 
432 and 478 trucks were used in the CCX division back when we were separate. Trailers and dollies started with a "4". 415-XXXX, 401-XXXX.

532 and 578 trucks, trailers and dollies 515, 501 CWX.

632 and 678 trucks, trailers and dollies 615 , 601 CSE.

732 and 778 trucks, trailers and dollies 715 , 701 CSW.

332 trucks were the refurbished ones.

311, 313, 315 and 319 trailers and 301 dollies were CNF.

The number after the dash was the year it was put into service. XXX-5XXX.

Since we purchase more than a thousand trucks in a given year they still use the old number system of CCX, CWX, CSE.
