” They function more like computers than heavy equipment over the course of their life cycles. This means they become functionally obsolete long before they physically break down. The end result is that like computers and other home/office electronics, the owners will reach a point where they can’t even be given away even though they are still working fine.”

Mine's 13 years old.
Let's see who has the oldest functional computer, "I've got 13, 13 anyone for 14? Do I hear 14?" </auctioneer voice>
How many 10 year-old trucks/vans do you think FedEx, Schneider, Swift Trucking, etc. have out on the road? The number is so small that it rounds off to 0% of their fleets.
