In July alone, North American fleets ordered more than 52,000 trucks, the largest order in history. Whoot, Whoot !!

^^MackTruck is the one buying them but it’s due to the economy. People are making money, buying more food, shitting more, and MackTruck is just trying to keep up with business.

i think 'heavy duty trucks' are the BIG trucks... especially class 7 and 8s. they rack up miles up to ten times more in a year than a pickup or car in general.
as to pickups and suv type vehicles... if it weren't for the gas consumption and gas cost... I'd be driving my old suburban instead of a prius.
