    Yuck. Their sales pitch.

    "Innovation by Walmart - 17% more capacity "

    Less trucks! Yayyyyyyy!

    The more they can get for less, the happier their shareholders.

    Quebec is the only one that registers by axles rather than weight

    3 axles in the rear plus the steer tractor and tandem drives generate a 88K gross weight.

    That extra 8K would be about 4 pallets which would be just at 8 feet or a touch under... on the deck.

    I feel sorry for anyone crammed into that tiny daycab.

    Why not just install the drives, engine and steering gear onto the kingpin plate and shove the driver high up in the forward part of the trailer like a Space 1999 starship? Forget about the combination vehicle.

    If I was walmart, I would be looking at road trains. 5 to 10 trailers at a time on dedicated roads between DC's

    It's about #### time we get road trains kicked over and going in this backwards Nation. Hell hand me the keys and let's go figure out what it can or cannot do, starting in Lancaster PA.

    Oh one other thing. I require Merschmitt 1200 horse Desiel engines from the Leopard 24B Main battle tank currently deployed with the German Army under Nato. None of this crappy 600 cummins conservation effort.
