    49x replacement and a new 57x coming out this year. Both are based on the 122SSD
    Nothing different about star cars now. Just even more plastic fantastic than before. no more wood cabinets

    If we continue down the path North America is headed I fully expect the government to take over trucking (for the good of the country or some such nonsense) to keep supply chains moving .

    We'll see, it's a project or two, pretty much completely gutted, stripped down, and sitting in primer. You wouldn't happen to be or know someone interested in a B model Cat and 5x4 setup would you? I'm afraid I'd just tesr them boxes up learning to shift them.

    Well....screw being an O/O one day. Guess I'll just look into schooling for something else like electrician or something like welder. FML. Lord I hope I don't make it past 40. And that's already too many years left in this hell hole :mad: ####!!!!

    Link? Because I have been hearing this for 5 years and all it’s ever been is lunch counter talk.

    im 32, most drivers I know won’t touch a truck that doesn’t have a hood, and I personally would rather work at Walmart.

    not to mention the new toy I’ve been trying to pick up with 5 up front and 4 out back….
