    I signed up with "TruckSmarter" yesterday to see what all the hype is about. I ain't been missing nothing. It doesn't look like smart business running to me. How desperate does one have to be....

    71 miles, 47K, tarped, sheet steel. $400 :biggrin_25521: C'mon Man!!! Who the hell takes these?

    Listening to the media go nuts over this potential Railroad strike. They just cannot help themselves but to continously mention how the trucking industry is short 80k truckers and this strike will be devastating to the supply chain. "The truckers already cannot handle it" :biggrin_25512:
