2005 Freightliner dump truck (example)

Columbia Borough Council voted 4-2 Tuesday night to approve a $14,139 transmission replacement for a borough-owned dump truck. Council members Jeanne Cooper and Ethan Byers were the two no votes. Councilwoman Joanne Geesey was absent.
A rebuilt transmission transmission will be installed within "a week or so" and will include a warranty, according to Highway Department Manager Jake Graham. The borough purchased the truck, a 2005 Freightliner, 16 years ago for $75,000. A new truck would cost about $250,000.
The borough received one bid for the repair from Good Transport Services, where the truck was towed.
"The recent snowstorm took its toll on three pieces of equipment," Highway Department Manager Jake Graham told council at a previous meeting. The transmission failure has left two of the borough's three dump trucks out of service, one of which needed repairs for an electrical issue.
