That’s why we need to get back to rail. It’s exponentially cheaper.

Rail is used. But you may want to check behind the stores you frequent. No railstop there.

Trucks have to get it to the places where people actually shop.

"It is not supposed to sting on here. We are all supposed to be friends."

Where in the heck did you get that idea? Really. Sorry to offend your delicate sensibilities, but it gets rough around here sometimes and we are not all friends. You might better go to Facebook if you want everyone to be your friend.

"As far as making a bigger deal of the situation that it is, mine was a passing comment, one I felt was an appropriate reminder."

You might believe that it is your duty to remind, but nobody was rude or out of line. The forum has moderators. If you think somebody is out of line, hit the 'report abuse' button. Hopefully, you'll meet a nice, friendly, moderator that wants to be friends.

"So are reminders to keep it civil lest we end up like DU."

Again, there was nothing uncivil about what was said. Get a grip, Pollyanna.

My feelings are so hurt. You are a bully just like Obama.

B.S., huh? - it may be up slightly compared to the last year - but that’s up slight;y from a great drop - not nearly what it needs to be.

but then, I don’t get my information from a printed article - I get it from my son, a long hauler for one the of the big guys - five years now. And from other trucker acquaintences.

But what do they know.

Also, the number of truckers is down by the tens of thousands - no problem these days finding parking for down time in the truck stops. Plenty of empty spaces now -
