    That's what I'm saying, all those billions going to other countries could make a big difference here.

    But ya know "10% for the big guy" so that ain't happening.

    Honestly, I think at this point those people really don't care......it's just numbers on a page.....numbers that don't effect them one bit. (Both sides).

    That yellow 579 might not be to bad of a deal but its probably beat to hell and needs motor work so that isn't such a deal I guess
    1700. Per mouth for 24 mths and 1 major repair and its all over but the crying

    Problem is, there’s 10,000 “big guys” and they all get %10 of the gross.

    Just caught this and not surprised, a buddy over in Nebraska wanted my truck and called his bank that he's been doing business with ages to borrow money on it ...they dam near hung up on him saying they don't loan money on cmv's anymore.

    Seems to be going that way at alot of small banks from what I hear. Think this purge is going to hurt a lot more than just truckers that shouldn't be here anyway. Interest rates are starting to effect huge companies also, I'm thinking it's going to get interesting for the next couple of years

    Most likely was some kind of scam is my thought. Someone getting some kick backs.
