[QUOTE="chadh2o, post: 3082634, member: 40131"] Schools. One thing that really gets my goat is the Activity Buses. Man, some discrict have some sweet rides. $500k plus bus for the kids to ride around the state in. But not only the cost of the bus, but the maintenance. Loosing proposition all the way around. My daughter's school cheer group would rent a bus (Red Carpet) for far away activities with funds from the booster group. $2400 per 4 day weekend outing was the going rate. That included everything, fuel & driver. If the schools used them 25 weeks a year, $60k. Probably less than the depreciation on the in house units, much less paying the driver and fuel, not including maintenance. City. The other day I saw a City of Norman flat bed wrecker with a pickup on it. WTF. I guess Norman's vehicle maintenance is so busy they need their own $100,000 wrecker. If $150 per tow from A&A was breaking the bank, maybe they need a new maintenance director. City. Saw an city of OKC 2,000 gallon fuel delivery truck. Really??? OKC didn't get in the bid for delivery included? At 2,000 gallons per trip and the number of vehicles being fueled, that's one busy dude. Makes me wonder why I see C of OKC trucks at the convenience stores all the time if their fuel is delivered to the yard, by their own truck. [/QUOTE]
