  Russians are the masters of dry sarcasm.

  Thank you for the video. I also own faw trucks in mexico, not the jh6 but the j7. I’m glad I bought them on my own resources, I haven’t had many eléctrical issues, maybe because Mexico does not have blazing winters and there is no salt on the roads, it is actually mostly dry, electrical issues come when the rain falls, overall we have had a descent experience with out trucks, of course they are not american trucks but they so the work. My trucks come with the xichai ca6dm3 engine with 550hp and zf traxon 12 speed, the problem for these trucks in Mexico is that not many people know how to fix them, the good thing is they have been very reliable, I can assure they have been more reliable than the freightliner with the dd15 ghg, I have a large fleet 130 trucks, 20 of them are Chinese the rest are american, At the time I bought the Chinese trucks they costed me half the price of a kenworth t680 next gen, I was forcé to buy them because the wait time for an american truck was over a year, bottom line I havent gone broke and the trucks have been profitable, they país themselves very fast within 2 years when an american truck takes me 4-5 years to pay for ítself because of the interest cost of credit, 4 years on and not a single catastrophic failure and in 6 million kilómeters only one tow truck 🫡

  I bought in 2010 an 22 years old MAN from a moving company with only 500tkm on the clock, got it for 5000€. Today still earning money with that 38 years old thing, has now around 1,3 mio km. First engine, gearbox (new clutch 2 years ago) and first axle also. Only minor works done to the truck like new brakes and some air valves. But now the rust is eating the cab away……

  I was a trucker/farmer. Today a new Kenworth or Peterbuilt is $250,000. But freight rates are not keeping up with fuel, insurance, interest rates and driver wages. Today we charge by the mile, at last google maps is useful, typical is $3.00 per mile. But we love the &quot;emergency loads&quot; can be $5.00 per mile.<br>Trucking and farming are very tough business&apos;, but I made a lot of money doing both.<br>God bless you and may He hold you in the palm of His hand.

  Please put Felix on the videos more often, he is a real boss, only manages the business from the distance...
