I've seen more newer trucks break down then older ones at times....it's a mindset some carriers get....instead of taking the issue on a individual basis....they group old with old and new with new. Goes to show some of the ignorance of thier respective recruiting departments. They relate old...

The bill went down, 228-205, even though Paulson and congressional leaders proclaimed a day earlier that they had worked out an acceptable compromise in marathon weekend talks. Lawmakers were caught in the middle. On one side were the dire predictions from Bush, his economic team, and their own...
