In defence of long-noses

Dear Editor:

Re: Viewpoint, April Truck News I normally take the bypass lane past the editorial comments, but as a long-nose owner, I had to read on.

So now you’re onto hating long-nose conventionals? Why don’t you just admit you hate trucking, period? Cause that’s all I get from the “doom and gloom” for the seasoned driver. You pound global warming hogwash into us trying to make us believe in this hoax.

C’mon, Lou! You can’t be serious. You predicted shippers would not load us because our trucks may get less fuel mileage? And then you predicted banks would not lend money to the evil long-nose owners? Just when our industry and professional drivers have been kicked down from a recession and more government interference than ever before, we pick up the Truck News and have to read about another possible setback.
