They do have reefers but I am seeing way less of them. Not many new ones either. The ones I see generally have switched to reefer trailers verses the straight trucks.

I crunched the numbers pretty hard when we sold our last one. You can make money with one but the return against the investment isn't there. If I am going to spend 250 on a reefer truck, I can get a better return from buying two dry vans. That doesn't begin to factor downtime for repairs...

I believe Phil and Layout just said over the last couple of days they wouldn't invest in a new one. If you are doing 200 to 250 for a new one, the rates need to be higher to justify that cost. I believe one of the largest fleet owners stop buying them for that very reason.

I don't see the rates there to justify a new one. Several dealers have said the margin and credit keeps them from even looking at them. Outside of Stoops, I'm not sure any other dealers even do anything with them.

At the price of new trucks, why even look at a reefer? If they were a good idea, dealers would stock them. Since they don't, there is likely a reason.

I don't think you could use gas as a comparison. That is a staple necessity for most to go to work and the like. I don't think a fast food place would fall in to that catagory. But from a competition standpoint, the cheapest station on the corner gets the business. If they raise the price for...

In this case it was one office that got caught. Might be worth a look at some others which I think is going to happen.

They certainly did. Kudos to Fox for staying on the story. After Fox spending a month on it, only now has the MSM started to report and question a lot of it.

I would agree. They "say" it was orchestrated from one office.:rolleyes: No.....I think it goes much deeper than that.

I couldn't say which is better? But I am tickled pink that I don't have any more.:cool: Better suited for a tractor trailer where you can leave the junk one and back under one that is working.

I think most have the option to do something other than Mickey's or welfare. Most if poor can attend college or a trade school for next to nothing. In fact, most can collect welfare and a whole list of benefits while they are students. Plenty do it with kids, but sadly, it isn't the majority...

Maybe there is something to those "death panels". :eek:

No not really. Moving the pay to 15 dollars won't change the quality. Don't have to look farther than the auto industry to see those results. Higher pay doesn't necessarily translate to "higher quality". I do agree though that supply and demand is what drives wages. McDonalds in San Francisco...

Basic supply and demand. If that Big Mac goes to ten bucks to cover the costs, no longer a need for the McDonalds. Those workers will go on welfare and instead of 15 per hour, they will demand 14 since they aren't working. It will be McDonald's fault and they will feel "entitled" to the 14 per...

The idiots and mentally ill have moved on. Apparently Wal-mart pressure cookers are all the rage now. Need to ban cooking devices. :rolleyes:

I just usually want to block "Rachael" from Card Holder Services. I ask for her picture when she calls daily and she hasn't sent one.:cool:

Turtle has precisely the right answer. And depending on what happens with immigration, those welfare numbers have a bunch more wanting to be added. We are even running commercials and billboards in Mexico to promote it. But back to my original point. There are no myths if you take out the...

abstinence? You can't say that. It isn't politically correct. That would mean refraining from something and that is not right. :rolleyes:

No real myth when you look at the numbers. Today you have more people than ever before on welfare. The average payout per person is the highest it has ever been. Many charts and links with some here on EO. And that isn't counting all the other benefits like free or subsidized housing, phones...

Is that like teaching global warming?;)
