From a Trainer: Take This Seriously!
Just passed through Illinois today, on I-80. There was a white pick up on an overpass. No biggie.... I get there, and I see there driver put down a set of binoculars... sure as ****, 1 unit hidden on the on ramp waiting, and 4 others with cars pulled over.
I heard that they do that, but this is the first time I've seen it.
Put the phones down !!

Fighting the Trucking industry.
I heard that asshat on KC Phillips, when the suit went to the top court.
PRIME DOES NOT FORCE ANYONE INTO LEASING!!
Name a single "business" or hell... a mechanic who doesn't have to purchase thousands of dollars of gear to get into business. The only legit thing is that you no longer have to go through arbitration. As a diver, I was responsible for purchasing a 5k diving helmet and various other safety and personal gear. It was also my sole responsibility for the maintenance, and safety checks (required by the employer yearly) Oh.. and 8500.00 in schooling, and yearly physicals.
Everyone knows that lease and LP plans are geared to make money for the company.
