As I was climbing in my truck, noticed the manufacture sticker on my right, says this truck was manufactured in Mexico! Wow! I thought Freightliners are made here.
Made not in USA

But guys who drive 'American iron' complain all the time on here about Volvos while also complaning that they can't park safely at China Mart (Walmart).
Here's my favorite though. You're looking at a screen right now. Doesn't matter the name, doesn't matter what it is. If it's a phone, computer, TV or any handheld communication device it was made in China. OK, ok, maybe a 1% chance it was made in Japan or Korea. Symantics. Buy 'Merican though.......whatever.Rideandrepair, Trucker61016, Dino soar and 3 others Thank this. -

That's because the unions have priced us out of being competitive. So gubberment bail out when economy goes down.

As automation increases, it lowers the need to manufacture overseas. I believe there will be at least a partial resurgence of high tech manufacturing in the US. Security concerns also play a role in that need. For example high tech secure drones are made here.Rideandrepair and Accidental Trucker Thank this.
