In other exciting trucking news – Steve Sturgess, the Executive Editor along with Tom Berg, Senior Editor of Heavy Duty Trucking (it took two of them? sorry) “reports” that Navistar International’s third-party testing has proved that its ProStar+ tractor with a 2010-legal MaxxForce 13 diesel is more efficient than two major competitors when both fuel and diesel exhaust are counted.

Well, I’m thrilled. /sarcasm
i hope they’re paying you, my friend.
Going to miss your personal take on events related to trucking in your life….to me this was the interesting part of your blog comments…Not sure the “corporate” stuff will be very interesting…. Time will tell…
Marshall, where are you???
Well, I gotta say I don’t care for this crap at all. Obviously, Marshall’s post has been edited – the statement about how things had changed is gone. Google is not caching these posts – wonder why? But, Google hasn’t changed their lead in quote from the post – which was part of what’s been deleted.
Well, Life On The Road readers, that’s all for now.
I’m posting this so anyone who wanders in would understand the disconnect between the post and the comments, plus show my displeasure. If this comment doesn’t get deleted, too.
I miss the biweekly insights and humor…
anybody know what’s going on??
how’s marshalls health?? how’s that new kenny he was issued??
is he gone for good?? any replacements??
Marshall writes when he wants to writes and writes what he wants to write. Yes, once in a while I do edit a few things. Yes, I offer suggestions, but this wasn’t it. He’s not “gone” that I know of and I don’t know how he’s doing any more than you guys.
Perhaps I was reading too much into the situation? I sure didn’t think you had anything to do with this post, Wayne. My paranoid scenario had you marching to the same orders I figured Marshall was.
