    Like I always say all good drivers are working and all good jobs are taken. This trucking game is so bad now, cheap rates because there are 10 trucks for every load. Hell caterpillar doesn't even make a on road compliant engine. That's why they had to build off road Cat trucks.

    Cat just had larger profits in the last quarter than in the last 10 quarters. You over simplify their global manufacturing decisions. Their construction equipment and construction truck business stands alone, they didn't have to do anything because they stopped building engines. They stopped building heavy duty truck engines for the road because there was no money in it. Follow the dollar, always follow the dollar.
     
    Oxbow, AModelCat and Bean Jr. Thank this.

    You don't think they wouldn't love a class 8 diesel engine. Since the days of the 1674 cat then 1693. Kamatsu is putting a hurting on there ###, since they can sell there equipment for 30 percent cheaper. Follow there stock not the money. Every week Caterpillar down.

    There's really no reason CAT couldn't supply class 8 highway engines. They already make tier 4 compliant engines for construction equipment.

    I couldn't tell you - why they don't offer OTR tractors. They already make highway trucks.
