    YOU handle the freight, at a rate YOU can afford to do it with a nice profit, whatever you drive.

    The Administation, President, congress etc... will just have to take care of itself. It's not for you and me to worry about. There isnt anything you or I can do with 500,000 new tractor trailers being built Asap soon as the parts get there.

    Remember. Always simplify your world. Toss the big stuff that does not concern you, does not provide any thing for YOU to fix. After all you are not the truck factory owner with all these orders or Mr TRump with the power to do certain things across his vested powers for what the American People put him in there to do. We could do worse, Hillary for example or someone else. Trump has already proven able to take a knife and slash at DOT rules last year. He's very smart. He knows what's what in business. Blue collar people have followed him since the 80's when he bought Eastern Airlines, which is actually by KBWI Airport Favorite.

    I actually hated Mr Trump for diddling with Eastern Airlines, doing things that are not in the realm of being accepted or wanted by businessmen such as Gold Faucets in the bathroom. Im over it. As he is too.

    And next year we will hear about all the new trucks sitting waiting to be sold, they really need to stop with all that plastic junk.

    That happened I think 2005. The CASS Index stated they could not stop buying trucks handover fist. Suddenly 4 months later BOOM. Cannot sell a truck for love or money.

    My BIG tell is when the junkyard with 50+ old iorn was salvaged down to less than 10 since 2006. !2 years ago. I think it's got 7 trucks now still, off US 67 on the east shoulder in the fencing prior to exit 45 I think Just past the hilltop north and east of exit 44.

    2020 is going to FLOOD used trucks all over the place. We are fixing to raise our minimum pay to 11 a hour in midterms minimum pay. Once that's done, Im going back to Little Rock Adesa to crewboss truckers at the auction there with a nice number of trucks to sell.

    I had planned on trading my current truck in when I get ready to buy a new one, but then I recently had a revaluation about just keeping it as a back up... as I type this my future “backup” truck is in the shop and I’m sitting at the house doing honey do’s..

    Future backup anything is really good to have.

    To fall back onto something and get going on your own is American Apple Pie and Freedom.

    To go around begging with your hand out because you have nothing put by against a bad day, well... we cannot help you.

    350K on my 2016 Volvo D13...., one temp sensor failed. That's it.

    Literally most reliable truck I've ever had even compared to pre emissions cat and Cummins.

    Certainly didn't live up to the emissions hysteria I was told before buying it.

    What kind of fuel mileage are you getting? How do you like the I-Shift?
