    The pandemic disrupted everything and caused rates to skyrocket in a way they never have.Most everything has gotten back on track and the load to truck ratio is not what it was throughout the pandemic. If it’s as bad as your saying best advice is to sell your equipment at these high prices before those normalize as well.

    They will not "normalize" as they were. Parts and new equipment prices will stay upping, which will sustain used ones. Even though fuel is a big portion of oil byproduct, it is just a portion.

    The high dollar truck owners @$2/mile remind me of the old saying.

    Can’t tell if that is chocolate in the ice cream but if it is keep it away from kitty. Can kill them very easy very similar to how it affects dogs.

    Looks like cookies and cream to me. Which means it's Oreo cookies (or some off brand of the type). Oreo's are no worse than any other treat. I.E. it's simply empty calories with zero nutritional value. It's ok in small doses but like in humans will cause overweight issues if indulged.

    If you want to look up several articles about it, here is a google search.
