[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by TheAntiGates</i> <br /><br />that may very well be true, but you can't really place a lt f stock in the idle chatter of truckers. <br /> <br />Last July I was standing outside a DMV office listening to two truckers carrying on and on about how long they'd been driving, how well conected they were in''the industry", how regulations were starting to cause them grief, even mentioned a few topics I recaled reading about in Don Phillips' column. <br /> <br />I mentioned that the railroads were probably happy about the items they were most upset with, perhaps even behind them, and registered blank looks. "Railroads?" was their reply." We don't compete with Railroads" Ofcourse they were employees of a contract carrier, not independants, but still show that ya gotta take the mutterings of truckers with a grain of salt............... <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Let me add to the above, that this was in the town where the world headquarters of NS's Triple crown service is located, the local highways are flooded with Triple Crown trailers............ Truckers ain't the brightest scholars
