I've seen a couple of Prime Trailers being pulled by trucks that were never part of Prime's fleet. Guys that bought their own trucks and leased on with Prime (and I'll never understand why they would do that).

I was taught, at a relatively early age, that you do not interrupt a funeral procession. Once the first vehicle goes through on a green light, the whole line has a green light, no matter what color you see. It's done out of respect to the dead. I'd say that when this driver passes on to his own just reward, we all need to pour a bottle of the very best booze we can find, all over his grave... Of course, we also need to filter it through ourselves first.

 

The decline is all around you, not just in trucking.
