    Just wait all the dealer lots in Chicago are full of parked trucks already. It’s doffing I have a few friends that sell them and it was really easy for a while for certain people to spends the banks $$$ but now even the banks are backing out of financing these trucks. I’ll hold on they are going to be really desperate no matter which way you look at it there is going to be a surplus of trucks on the market. Just sad to see some of these uneducated people thinking market will stay sane and bank will give $$ to anyone now they just know how to spend it. I’ve heard of about 4 of 5 sizable companies going under so far and the sh I t storms keeps on going.

    There is no bottom. Unless all of the production of heavy trucks is stopped.

    We called those sway bars back in the day. Put two of them on any American Boat and it will quit rolling like a ship in curves. (Has nothing to do with productivity lolz)

    That's what I'm thinking it's going to come down and come down really hard as the market has nosed over sharply.

    I have noticed 3rd and 4th quarter there are a lot of build slots open.... Last year's orders filled the first two quarters mostly.

    I think the spiral down is going to start getting very bad somewhere Q3 forward ...

    However... *IF* Trump recognizes this and gets rid of Excise tax finally... you will see sales jump through the roof again on new trucks.
    They will also be so much more affordable!!
