CS,
Those trucks may be a "romantic antique" to you but I suggest you take a long look at how your "possibles" get to where you're accustomed to finding them.
The "bottom line" of this thread is - and remains - the impact of OA-proposed "fuel efficiency/air quality regs impact upon our economy. Any increase in the "cost of transportation" has to be passed on to the consumer. For decades our freight system has been predicated upon a "cost/benefit" ratio - with the independent trucker being the "horse" in the team. Recent regs cited pretty well kill all the horses - except for union ones - so consumers haven't any "options" on their essential purchases. >Mech
