Default Three Brilliant Ideas

1. The federal government should start a program to buy all the vacant auto dealerships and convert them in to truck parking areas.

2. Somebody should invent eload. An auction site to connect shippers directly to carriers. The shipper could post their loads, be it 1 or 1,000, for carriers to bid on directly. Get the brokers out of it entirely, make the process completely transparent.

3. This site needs to petition Big Diesel and Steve Booth to rejoin us. Kevin just isn't that entertaining & people just seem to ignore me when I try to stir up sh*t.

4. Volvo should sell Mack Trucks to a U.S. based consortium of investors and Mack Truck employees who could then restore the Mack brand to it's once legendary stature, especially in the dump truck & heavy haul markets.

Please, no more federal government programs for a while.

I agree, that would be interesting.

I liked them both, I don't know all the details but they both seemed to wig out for some reason. You can't take this internet stuff too seriously. It's not real.
