Greed and selfishness is slowly killing what our forefathers worked and gave their lives for. [Reply]   [No Email]

And i can also see that you have never run a truck either large or small . a big truck will suck up fuel at the rate of if your lucky around 6.5 miles to a gallon and at a small price of close to 4 bucks a gallon . One tire will set you back around 350 bucks times 18 then comes the insurance for a big truck at around 6 grand a year then the taxes then the repairs . There ain't no more fifty bucks and axle brake jobs anymore . then road use taxes plate fees . and now you want to have them haul your tractor for fifty bucks . or even a couple hundred bucks for five hundred miles . If you think you can haul stuff cheaper Knock yourself out and go buy a truck , lost of trucks out there for sale and lots of step decks too. Way back in the 80's to operate a big truck it cost 1 dollar 13.9 cents a mile JUST TO RUN THE truck BEFORE you put one little penny in your pocket. And that was when fuel went over a dollar a gallon. and you could still buy a NEW truck and trailer for UNDER a hundred grand.   [Reply]  [No Email]
