      If I ever get my 379 back together from redoing the interior and get to shows it’s going to be a open house for the people who don’t have the opportunity to see what it’s like inside a big truck and to see kids smile when they climb inside

    Thats awsome. I drove one for a while back in the 80s . Cool trucks. My brother in law owned it and bought new and had a fleet of kws all painted that way. I bought the last one which was a 97 w9L and wish idve never sold it.

      Every industry is going through this. It’s all consolidation of power and wealth with political corruption sprinkled in. This will continuously get worse and worse until a complete collapse and civil war. You can try and start to run a small fleet and make something for yourself but the laws are so screwed up and lawyers so hard on truckers that you will lose it. I run my own authority and business separate from my personal taxes and banking. I pay myself what I’m worth. If someone decides to crash into my truck and sue me for their health bills they can have the truck. I’ve made enough money I can start something else with less risk. It’s not like it used to be.
