    Really don't need anymore guys like you with your thought process .. Shopping in the mechanical truck market that I shop in. It's already screwed up enough..... Do you even know how a mechanical fuel system work besides filling the fuel tank and turning the key to the start position ???.... I'am guessing not from your post

    I’ve got 2 here, a B and a mechanical C that most of todays truck steerer persons wouldn’t get into high gear before they melted the turbo off it. I don’t know how they’d ever get up through Albert Canyon and over the Rogers with it. That’s assuming they figured out how to shift the thing in the first place.

    Don't worry their smarter than us .. just ask them
    That's another reason .. They don't need to be in the mechanical market.. they are just going to destroy what good mechanicals are left
    Because most of them couldn't drive a thrusty goose to water in a new truck let alone a truck you have to know how to drive ..not just release the brakes and slap it in Drive

    It'd be funny to watch em try and shut the truck off Lol. Turn the key and nothing happens. Probably wouldn't notice the little black knob to pull out.......or push it back in for that matter if they tried starting it. My anti theft device

    I'd like to keep this thread and any other regarding this issue alive and current since there are 38 days remaining in the comment period. If you haven't spoken up yet about this please do, it will only take you a few minutes. Friends and family can even speak up, this will effect everybody. New drivers and new members of TTR that may not be aware of this need to take action.

    There is a petition started by TTR member @Bret1984, it can be found here: Sign the Petition

    To write your Senators: U.S. Senate: Contacting U.S. Senators

    And the FMCSA comment section: Regulations.gov

    This is what life will be like if we don't speak up!

     
    Bret1984 and ProfessionalNoticer Thank this.
