On the average, what is the life span of Commercial Rigs? How many years and/or how many miles do they actually last?

I don't think there is a definate answer to this one. In the past, commercial chassis didn't have the life span that was expected from a custom chassis rig.
Apparatus in use in this area 25 years ago never experienced the number of road miles and corresponding wear and damage that happens today. Now, even a custom rig can easily wear out in 10-12 years.
I would still have an expectation that a custom rig would hold up longer than a commercial chassis since the custom chassis is engineered with fire service requirements in mind.
