    LOL, that's terrible, bro. ha ha! :confused:

    Imagine with all the older guys laying low waiting for this to blow over. It's only us dummies on the road with our automatic transmissions and GPS's and other idiot devices pushed on us like On guard. Imagine the chaos. No paper maps anywhere.
    .
    We'll be alright. A few trucks may just drive off a cliff due to GPS malfunction. But we'll get through it.

    Or
    Or it could kill off the automatic driving, eld using, gps following, cell phone talking, non cb having generation. Then the old guys can take over once again. A guy can dream anyway....

    Maybe so..
    And maybe you'll get paid a living wage like the old timers, who could shift and communicate and figure their HOS without a computer.
    But maybe not.

    A big church in DC had a pastor infected with Virus shake hands with 500+ persons. Throwing them all for a loop.

    Its amazing this national train wreck... I might look into a Carbine. Just need a caliber thats suitable and a rail up top.

    Once again, whomever penned this heartfelt message, has never set foot in one of their truck stops.
