You might think that there is another truck waiting,but when this stuff began a few years back(brokers stealing the fuel surcharge)loads sat there until the price came up.Even if there are more "company trucks",companies wont haul it either unless thats all they can find and it takes them to a good area.Some of those cheap places went under.The brokers are most of the problem and I bet the shippers dont even know what their loads are being offered for in a lot of cases.It costs them whatever and the thieves steal all they can. What you think is not happening,is.It will take time but you wont believe how empty stores will get if they go on strike for real.You dont really want to see a truck strike. Truck companies go broke every day.Some companies have 100% turn over.When thats all there is left running the roads,you dont want to drive on the roads any more either.A mad trucker,working for a jerk company,who takes the fuel out of his drivers pay is not going to work very long.The when you have non english speaking jerks driving trucks for slave wages just so some rich big shots can have more money,you dont want out on that road.If they can get away with it they will have them in junk cab overs with no brakes,no sleeper,no air conditioner,as least as they can get away with.It will be like Mad Max in a couple of years.Also once the independents are gone and the railroad has it back the cost will go as high as outer space.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
