Not to "stir the pot".....
But FED-Ex and UPS are on another buying spree.....the "Big boys" are growing even larger and the new additions include mostly NON-union drivers....With different management styles do you REALLY think "export radios" are going to be the talk over profit and service
..These buy outs were profitable ,strong companies to help expand territories and bottom lines $$$$$$$$
Fed-ex just took on Watkins motor lines...those boys travel the country and can be "Heard" :roll: :roll: :roll:
UPS just purchased Overnite,the colors might change on the trucks but do you really think the "Radios" in the "rigs" will be lost.....
..
No I am not encouraging the "Splattering of HAM waves" but "boys and girls" enforcement in the world I work in puts "Radio" way down on the bottom of the list..........An "Export" pales to compare to "junk equipment" (80,000** rig with bad brakes,) fatigued drivers,"you want it when mentality",$3.00+ a gallon fuel and the list goes on......
I will really "step out on the branch"
here and say stopping these RADIOS at the manufacturer is like trying to stop V-8s from Ford,Chevy Or Dodge.....Plain "Vanilla" cars with just (4) cylinders are better but you can buy the larger ,more POWAful one BUT keep it under a 100 mph,it may cost a little more to maintain but that POWA is well worth it
8) 8)
And those on a budget can even opt for a smaller upgrade a V-6.....more POWA than the 4 but less toys than the 8's :roll: :roll: ....
Supply and demand....free enterprise in AMERICA.........gotta love it.........IF not you can always leave,this ain't no "Dam HOTEL CALIFORNIA"
Snoope back quiet
