    Takes a weekend and a hundred bucks (or a couple cases of beer) for a full interior cleaning and detailing. 1.3M miles isn't that much for an OTR truck. (Heck,I saw one with 3x that at work TODAY.) And you missed the most important part: pre-2007 Cat diesel power! I would bet that truck may have sold already. (If not for the Autoshift, it would have.)

    Oh, you are one of those who was sold on leftist BS that only Trump supporters don't want the vaccine?
    1. Not everyone can take the vaccine due to medical complications
    2. Not everyone can take the vaccine due to allergies to the vaccines ingredients
    3. Millions of people had Covid before there was a vaccine and have better immunity than the vaccine so why deal with possible side effects
    4. 65% of Blacks and Latino's don't want it
    5. Nobody knows anything about long term effects of the vaccine yet
    6. Some people know the survival rate of Covid is over 98% and have decided they don't want to deal with possible side effects
    7. The left continues to push lies about Covid which only drives people away from it

    Most truckers are independent operators. That's not 100 employees. They are exempt.

    And I don't think that mandate can hold up.

    "so that is why they fear the vaccine, they think Trump skipped testing? and rushed approvals?"

    where in that did I say only Trump supporters don't want to take the vaccine?

    Trump had covid and he took the vaccine, don't you think he was getting the best medical advice?

    Perhaps America should look at road trains to get over the shortage of truckers

    We don’t allow the road trains inside the big cities but the system is incredibly efficient

    Then you shouldn't have any problem disputing any of my claims. Can you?

    1. Not everyone can take the vaccine due to medical complications
    2. Not everyone can take the vaccine due to allergies to the vaccines ingredients
    3. Millions of people had Covid before there was a vaccine and have better immunity than the vaccine so why deal with possible side effects
    4. 65% of Blacks and Latino's don't want it
    5. Nobody knows anything about long term effects of the vaccine yet
    6. Some people know the survival rate of Covid is over 98% and have decided they don't want to deal with possible side effects

    1. True
    2. True
    3. True for America but how many died or were left with lifelong complications - and how long does natural immunity last?
    4. False - your data is out of date
    5. False the J&j vaccine is based on decades old tech and the MRNA tech has been in trials for other diseases for at least ten years
    6. Some people are hideously misinformed
    7. False
    Question - how many doctors and nurses have been immunised with the vaccine so far hmmmm?

    Maybe you should get caught up before replying.
    Much has been made about people of color being hesitant to get a COVID-19 vaccine. Numbers have shown that Black and Latino vaccination rates are lagging behind those of white people in America. About 40% of Black people and 45% of Latinos have been at least partially vaccinated as of Aug. 16, compared to 50% of white people, according to the latest data by the Kaiser Family Foundation.

    the color of your skin is not a "reason"

    5. It doesn't matter what the vaccine is based on. There is no data for these vaccines long term effects and trying to convince someone there is no long term effects on an unproven vaccine only shows a lack of knowledge.

    6. Its global knowledge what the survival rate of Covid is.
    According to coronavirus data from the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, there have been more than 992,000 COVID-19 cases statewide since the pandemic's start. To date, there have been close to 13,000 coronavirus-related deaths. That would make the percentage of infections resulting in survival close to 99%.

    THE FACTS: As of July 23, there were more than 34.3 million known cases of COVID-19 in the United States and 610,370 deaths, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. That means the case fatality ratio -- or the portion of known cases that result in death in the country -- is 1.8%. In other words, on average, 98.2% of known COVID-19 patients in the U.S. survive.

    You can do your own math from worldmeter but its been a known statistic since the beginning. Sorry you were so uninformed about common information.

    7. You own post proves number 7. lol

    You claimed it was bunk. You were wrong.
    I never claimed it was a reason. I claimed 65% of blacks and Latinos don't want it debunking your claims of this being a conservative problem.

    How many have not and walked off the job? Why have over 47 hospitals closed with more on the brink just this year alone? Why are hospitals closing wards like pediatrics and maternity due to staff shortages?
    Hmmmmmmmmm
