    Passed through Savannah on I-95 several times this week and something that really stood out to me was junky ##### trucks pulling RGN's with military equipment on board.I suppose heavy haul has really lowered its standards to save a buck.

    Normally they don't, but when there is a big move going from base to base or in war time when stuff is getting taken to the ports, they can pay very well. I try to not mess with anything military related, those bases are a big PITA!

    A lot of people thought that all it takes to be a.heavy hauler is buy a lowboy. Plenty are finding out its a bit more complicated than that and that there are.different qualities of lowboy. Like Witzco-Challenger, the biggest pile of junk lowboy on the planet.

    The globalists are cutting us military budgets, left and right. Lots of top brass concerned about staffing, equipment, readiness... The picture looks bleak from just about any perspective. All part of the plan.

    The us is already a 3rd world country and things could be undeniable by even the most ignorant, before Christmas. Not setting a date or even a time line on events. Just recognizing that the unsustainable will not continue indefinitely. ymmv

    The trucks that were pulling the trailers were junk he said, nothing else.
    Mind, with the last few I did, and the headaches involved, I call it junk too.
