    And we were going to run out of food for the masses. Blah blah blah. This world has a lot of empty space, look around, plenty of room and resources for everyone, not just the Chosen few, Lol. Good God, yes it’s slow, so slow, I’m commenting on Eugenics. Loading tomorrow, booked till next Wednesday, Thank God.

    You run the same lanes as we do and yea the rates are good in my book. Run one down 700 for 168mi and reload same day with a 550-700 coming back towards the house

    Down turns is when you buy them because they are cheap...but you gotta do the cash deals..

    I was talking about someone with no experience and thinking about jumping in feet first. If you are expanding or have experience then yes I agree. Ideally if your new you wait until the market is in an upswing but before the prices go back up. I guess that in itself takes experience.

    I have two new trucks coming and can’t even give away my old ones. Nobody is buying anything doesn’t seem like.
     
    Rideandrepair and crocky Thank this.

    Sorry, I am just a dumb guy pulling a dry box - any particular reason why cattle/livestock is slow right now? Is that seasonal or abnormally slow?

    I’ve seen pictures of the red truck but haven’t seen it on the road. Both are good looking trucks.

    Thanks. It’s a 2000, just picked up another 2000 CX last month but haven’t got it up and running yet.
     
    Brettj3876 Thanks this.

    Yea, 99 build on the orange one. It likes to be shifted slow, but pulls good on the hills. They’re both 460s, Eaton 13s and 3.70s.
