Too many truckers these days. How can it be a viable career?

Merry Christmas driver , it ain't that bad , you just need a change of scenery

 

Not sure where you live but unless it's warm year round you don't make #### hauling cement

 

look at all the houses that has filled all the fields, they all need supplies, we have gone thru a population explosion and we all trying to have a little more than the next person. Plus we do not grow our own food, we have to ship it across the country to add a little bit then back somewhere else to package it, then it has to go to the landfill. All them malls need to be supplied so I think it comes down we want to much and are paying for it by losing our space.

 

That’s actually pretty profound. Well said. Respect.

 

I went to Toronto in Canada north back in like 1990 something I forget exactly, it's #### early in my time. I witnessed rolling fields that was on both sides of the queens highway for 50-70 miles. Beautiful.

Someone said they were fixing to fill it with housing. I laughed at him. Yah right.

Well... 15 years later all those fields were full of homes 10 yards apart. Cheap homes then. Now they sell for a freaking million 15 years after that. What a investment it would have been. **Bangs head...

I-81 is incredibly important to the Nation. I am betting they can build a Parallel interstate (*And should) and we will fill that too. I-81B for example. Trucks are like fat in a artery, once it fills the interstate, it must fail to carry as many in the same amount of time.

I understand 66 west of DC is charging 40 dollars and up for tolls to cars. I wonder what in the world are they charging big rigs at rushhour?

Ive been away from there for a long time but have not forgotten that area.

I once stood in Mesa looking to the eastern mountain range approx 10 to 15 miles away over desert. One of the former residents, my spouse explained to me that in her childhood that land was bare. Now it's filled with rank upon rank of townhouses and condos all the way to the mountain range. And crime to boot.

 

60 million more people between 1990 and 2010. 25% more people, in the same space. That means more of everything.

 

My town was about 2000 and change 20 years ago. Now it's pushing 20K. And we are probably going to be 50K in another 10 if you count the number of kids now in school. Multiplying like rabbits.

 

Do not worry about it, the elite have it under control, with so many stuffed in a little area one little bomb will take care of many, then they divided everyone into colors, religion and genders so they fight each other, probably has happened a few times in the history of this world, keep blasting us back to the stone age...but not a person will notice until that smart phone stops working.

 

I live in the mountains in Colorado next to a national park, used to be able to hike the tall mountains and barely see anyone, now it is a line going up and back, which is scary when the lightning starts but them days of getting off away from everyone are gone, them people run in packs up here from the city.
