Its not the American public that wants it that way.Its the Wal Mart mentality that they have a warehouse full of goods in trucks on the highway.Thats "just in time" service.Truck companies provide this by even using other companies trucks if they cant cover all the loads with their trucks.Problem is with bad times like these,even shipping goods slows down to where there are less loads for everybody to haul.Thats when you haul a load somewhere and set for 2 days waiting to reload,then end up deadheading 400 miles to get another load.
Now look for that to get worse when trucking companies wont haul that just in time load to that destination because they cant reload the truck out.That will be when you go to Wal Mart and the shelf where the lampshade you want is not there for 3 months while they try and figure how to get a truck through there.
Another thing is look for that just in time stuff to stop when trucking companies cant afford to buy fuel because some company wont pay a fuel surcharge and trucks wont bring it.
I guess what Im getting to is,you can complain about trucks,but once you dont have any to haul stuff,you are going to wait a long time to get some stuff on shelves.Once it gets to where trucks cant haul it,and trains have to haul it,the price will go up so high you cant afford it anyway.Before trains bring everything as they one time did,you will have to ride on them to get anywhere.Then when passenger trains are competing for freight tracks,the price of moving stuff will be so high only rich people can ship stuff.By then,the businesses that would have gone under,the country wouldnt be recognizable any more.
The more I think about all this,the more it makes sense that we should bust these oil companys up so they compete instead of abuse us.The whole country is really kind of fragile,especially where energy is concerned.When we have people controlling this energy who live in another country,they dont see,and dont care what it does to us when they keep prices artificially high.Or they may even live here,but are too dumb to know what they are doing to the rest of us or dont care.We need to somehow remove that option from them.If they have enough power to do this stuff,thats too much power for an energy company to have all by themselves.

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
