    They've earned it. I've used them all and Utility are the best built IMHO. It didn't use to be that way, but their new equipment is top notch.

    There's starting to be lots of delicious mouth watering freight. Especially in the midwest.

    You mean making cars instead of ventilators is good for business?

    Who's footing the bill to store all those ventilators and all the other guberment hand outs anyway?

    States are supposed to stockpile and store their own supply. They also need maintenance and upkeep while in storage. New York had thousands of ventilators a few years ago, but the former mayor Blumberg decided it was too expensive for the city and sold them all at auction. How ironic, huh?

    That's this weeks issue. The other was last weeks issue, so I guess those sales are off or got sold.

    What was the going rate for that trailer a few months ago if they’re down to roughly $67k now?

    Inland wouldn't come down another $500 on the 680 i wanted.

    And I thought the salesman was kind of a weiner, and the lady in finance talked REALLY loud and fast and jovial.

    I didn't care for her at all.

    Anyway, they are all still sitting there.

    They don't have any money, blah, hard times, blah.

    Yes. Poor stealership and paccar have no money, but I do right?

    Give me about 5 minutes with the sales folk, and I can pretty much tell you how it's gonna go....
