    Instagram said New Jersey ports. But it could be Brazil.


    But a lot of sources say the long shoreman are slow and not a shortage of trucks. But but the msm is keep being told that it's a shortage of truck drivers. So they repeat it. The head of long beach or San Diego ports said on TV it was a shortage of truck drivers. I can't remember which Southern California port he ran. Of course he did, then it's not his fault.

    One of our own members of the WIIS thread says there is a giant line going into the Portland(?) Port. It's not the trucks that are slow, in my opinion.

    That’s for sure. Jessup seven worse. IV parked on the side streets a couple times. Never seen so many hookers on the street. Petro in N Baltimore is one of the best. Wife was impressed. Lol

    I have stayed there too. It's an interesting collection of truck drivers. Last time I was there, long time ago. A guy was playing with drone, pretty cool. I was patching my tarp on my 48' flat.

    That’s right. For instance we had a company in Greenville Mi. They were offered all sorts of tax abatements. The Owner apologized, saying the Competition already left. No choice, with move the factory or go under. A finished intake manifold in China is cheaper than the raw block of steel here. True? Who knows. Our Own Companies are benefitting. We’re endorsing Communism in the process. We trade both ways. It’s not as drastic of a deficit as commonly believed. I forget exactly, roughly 75% to their 100% maybe. Either way, We shouldn’t be Trading with any Communists Government. 70%,80% or more profits go to them. Not to mention we both manipulate our currencies. China’s headed for a major housing bubble recession. All Mortgages are through the Government. Home prices set by them. They’re way over valued. They’re a house of cards in Reality. Our Governments in on it along with our Businesses. It’s a greedy mess.

    True, I ran into a Old Couple running a Needlenose Pete. Same with NJ. For all the bad rap, I’ve met some really decent folks there. Except on Trenton. Nothing good comes out of Trenton. Lol

    I think Jersey people are great, seriously. I like new Yorkers too. But the taxes. I worked out the Quala wash in Rahway nj. Every one was paying 8 to 12 k in property taxes. The houses they owned were mostly bungalow types. Still 9k a year.

    This is an 860. 77 inch sleeper. I have a mid roof Freightliner, I just want a taller roof. 77" that's has to feel like an RV.

    @Dale thompson you missing the international? You like Volvos?
