    Agreed Sir

    I don't recall seeing any Mack Tractors that weren't Painted Steel until some of the West Coast Mack's came along

    Was reading about more carriers going out, James r smith, Minstar and another. anyway… here’s a line

    “A structural role in an industry plagued by excess capacity”
    But about the driver shortage we all hear about??
    Or ups outsourcing jobs by buying 400 robots ready to invest millions to load/unload trucks. Instead of paying someone. We’re outsourcing all our work to AI. Eventually the robots will control us as we’ll all be jobless, homeless, and worthless.

    50 truck fleet shuts down
    Two Minnesota carriers shut down, idling 200 drivers

    A quote I saw while searching around on the Brown University Shooting. Thought it applied.
    They have just now discovered "live" rounds at the scene and "manipulated" them.......
    The head PoPo still not grasp good clear Englis yet??
    (Typical of cases like this and the sheriff in KY shooting the judge. Gotta speak precisely, in "no reveal" during testimony".)

    “Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity”. - Attributed to American writer Robert J. Hanlon................
