Ready for lunar orbit and landing at Moonbase Alpha. Now I know where the extra profits go...R&D rather than employees. Neat. Makes me so happy that we spent the last 20 (yes, 20) years getting a Wal-Mart in our little part of the world.

Given a preference, I've usually liked working for a small mom & pop company.


But lets face it, after 10 years of stocking the shelves at Mom & Pop Neighborhood Emporium where are you?

Still stocking the shelves at Mom & Pop Neighborhood Emporium, making only slightly more than when you started.

Moving up just doesn't exist there. No matter how nice they are.



And I've worked for some real mom & pop SOBs, I can tell you.

To some of them you're just cheap labor that has to be watched every minute of the day.

And if you think that you deserve a pay raise after a year....

Well, there are plenty of other kids looking for work.


Somehow I doubt that it would be worth my time to argue the point, so I'll leave it with this;

Surprise! Walmart health plan is cheaper, offers more coverage than Obamacare

Need it in pictures - The Most Evil Corporation in America’s Healthcare Plan vs. ObamaCare



But I don't want to turn a post about an interesting fuel saving, REALLY COOL looking, truck into an argument.

May I suggest that you start a post of your own about the evils of businesses?

Over time I've seen plenty of futuristic cars that never made it to the road.

It's about time that a real truck gets a makeover.


I've only been in the cab of a "big rig" once or twice in my life, but this one is tempting.

I bet it's even more so to many of the ex-truckers on this site.


Is there any chance that you might post some of your truck screen shots in "The Cage"?

Unfortunately, like The Flight Sims, I get so excited with just Flying/Driving around, I clean forget to take any screen shots myself... :( ....

...but here are a selection of screen shots take in various locations around California, in one of my selection of Truck Sims!...>>>

Is it just my mindset or does the picture from inside the cab look like a targeting reticle??? :shock: :?:

And if so, just WHO are they aiming at, and with WHAT?? :lol:

Just sayin...

It's just a fact of life.

With cars getting smaller and smaller, it's hard for a trucker to aim for them. :lol:
