How often to grease stuff under the bus?

There is one of those up by the clutch linkage also in the below driver compartment.

I wonder if trucks are starting to go to sealed for life on greasable items like cars. Also better for enviornment I would imagine.

Come on guys, it's the 21st century. We are on the cusp of transitioning to non-petrol motors i.e. electric is here. LOL

Always clean off grease fitting with a rag before greasing. Elimimnates getting dirt into the little check ball and getting dirt in the greasing tip which then keeps it from staying attached to grease fitting.

I worked for an equipment superintendent who watched an oiler.
When he rolled out from under a rig the sup asked to see his rag.
He got a pink slip...a check, and a plane ticket.
