    Emissions? What emissions?

    Unless you're talking about that 55 gallon drum under there that some call a muffler?

    The weed burner era. Supposedly the stack, tubing, mounts, and bracing weigh 400 pounds more than the weed burner set up.

    No one has any "Pride in their ride" left.

    Companies are owned by some douchebag in another state or country.
    Owner doesn't know or care what his trucks look like. Short term profit is the
    only concern.

    Drivers can't pull themselves away from their "smart" phones long
    enough to care. Honestly probably 75% of the drivers don't know what
    their truck even has.......many can't tell you what engine or transmission
    the truck has........many have never even opened the hood......as long as
    the engine doesn't actually quit they don't care.


    I am an "old school "driver.......I have been looking for a company
    that hires "old school" drivers.......or has "old school" trucks.......
    there is no such thing anymore. We have no choice......put up
    with the "new and improved" trucking industry or get out......the
    old days are gone.

    One idiot we had tried to tell me that a straight truck with malfunctioning power steering came that way from the factory.

    Addition by subtraction when that one got fired.
