Do I believe the news or you all?

Yea we did that a few times. I have a lathe that I turn custom ink pens that my wife sells at a store from $45-$100.
I also make chess boards.

 

I get all my news from channel 19. This is the best channel for facts.

 

Hmmmm....channel 19 or the liars lounge at the Petro...tough call!

 

Find a new country then. You think the guys constantly screaming driver shortage are going to change their buisness model?

 

Lunch counter the place for a lot of top secret news that nobody else knows.

 

Everything you purchase a truck carried it. Do you see any bare shelves at the stores? Are you waiting in line for a ration of gasoline? Of course not. Because there are plenty of drivers to deliver goods. There is no driver shortage. But there is a serious problem with pay and retention.

 

you're right Larry...before i retired, i heard a few guys at the counter saying that we will all be driving trucks with a/c and power steering and air inflated tires..

i dunno if any of that is true or not....sounded convincing to me though.

 

I have to ask...are you seriously a flat earth society person, or is it an inside joke of some kind?

 

By the year 2000 they were going to be seriously short on drivers 2005 the same deal 2010 etc etc .. funny thing is things still get moved

 

Something seems fishy here about this driver shortage. It seems that if there were a shortage of drivers then shippers would competing for our services and rates would be going up yet the opposite is occurring. The shelves are well stocked everywhere I go and Amazon can deliver most anything in 2 days. Either the law of supply and demand must have been suspended or the driver shortage must be a myth. Who would benefit by promulgating and spreading such a fraudulent lie?
