    Reminds me of when I went to the Apple Store and bought Two New iPhones I think it was the 2nd one at the time. Had to go back a few months later because of an issue with both of them.

    The first person wanted to act like they would not do something about it. Told him politely to go get a supervisor so I could talk to someone who could help me. He refused for a few minutes and I finally lost it. Started yelling that I would throw these phones through your #### windows and trash this #### store if you don't get someone here right now.

    Soon the Manager showed up out of the back and had quickly asked me to calm down and he would help me out. So I calmly told him the issue and he agreed to give me reman phones right away. This was a New Apple Store in the Plaza in KCMO and was very popular. Lots of people kind of just spread out when I started to get loud. Needless to say I never had another issue at that store. They knew me first hand after that. Ha Ha I still get good service from them.

    That's close to my take on it. It will be a slow transition till they get ALL the excrement crammed in the same sack. And approval from the lawyers, accountants, and insurance trifecta.

    Glad we got young folks like @D.Tibbitt around to keep an eye on it though.

    Problem I see is that the smart peoples that do all the design never have been on the other side of the desk— till you been on a lonely road in a blizzard trying to throw iron just to survive, have a hard time seeing how they get the real picture

    Will be a different business model. They will probably run it like the airliners...... Hold it at the terminal until they get a route clear signal.

    Would not surprise me if they started outfitting the trucks and trailers with the automatic chains like they use on the school busses around here.

    Will be interesting to see what changes to drive style the autonomous programs make when WYDOT reopens I80 after a closure.

    Zero craps are given currently over driver safety by the bigger carriers. They currently tell the "drivers" to park and shelter in place so they don't have to rescue/insurance claim the truck and cargo. The big companies will be even more open to protecting the $500,000 truck asset than they are the current cheap commodity "dirt bag driver".
