    Nope, not necessarily. Just making money where there's money to be made. Pretty much what they're paid for.
    If Jr. Trucker reaps the whirlwind, well, that sucks for him. Business will carry on.

    That isn't their primary intention but it isn't something they worry about either. They know that most of the little guys will fail because they've been watching it happen for years. If the big guys corporate ethos bumps off a few small fleets or single proprietor companies that's just collateral damage,
    The big guys aren't predatory, they're just kind of indifferent. Somehow, to me anyway, that's worse.

    That's been a business practice from the word go.

    Smart people view business as a type of warfare.

    Right now the big guys have their #1 man at the helm.
     
    Opus Thanks this.

    Freightliner has been giving the bigs deals like that for years…… they were selling them trucks with no mileage restrictions and a fixed turn in price. That was years ago

    used cars are starting to ease up trucks are next……

    just more Cascadia life

    If you're going to quote me please do it correctly. Don't create a whole new sentence and quote that. Quote me word for word or don't quote me at all.

    They are not "creating market conditions".
    They are simply benefiting FROM those conditions.
