American Truck Showrooms Wants To Know Why Bernie Sanders Wants Truckers Unemployed

    GULFPORT, MS, April 22, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- American Truck Showrooms (www.AmericanTruckShowrooms.net) Wants To Know Why Bernie Sanders Wants Truckers Unemployed; Light Rail Plan Ill Conceived, Reckless and Fraught with Impossibilities.

American Truck Showrooms www.AmericanTruckShowrooms.net believes that the recent statement by presidential candidate, Bernie Sanders, "We could do incredible things... we can build a state-of-the-art rail system, which takes trucks off the road..." is a notion that is ill conceived, reckless, and fraught with many impossibilities, as it pertains to the transportation industry. Whether it is the food we eat, the clothes we wear, or any other household good purchased by the American consumer, all of these products were delivered by one of the nation's 3.5 million truckers.

The majority of all shipments of goods in the U.S. are based on a "Just In Time" inventory management system, which cannot be accomplished by any means other than by truck. Few retail establishment in the United States have access to delivery by rail, and no other logistical system, short of anti-gravitational spacecraft, can compete with the efficiency and effectiveness of the semi-truck.

With its logistical limitations and its lack of flexibility, rail systems must rely on the American trucker to complete the direct delivery of their rail freight in a timely and an efficient manner. For more than a century, billions of taxpayer dollars have been thrown at an antiquated U.S. rail system, yet Bernie Sanders states that he wants to build a state-of-the-art rail system. At what cost?

Sanders's premise is based solely on perceived environmental concerns and totally disregards the livelihoods of the millions of American truckers, their industry affiliates, and associated service companies.

At American Truck Showrooms www.AmericanTruckShowrooms.net we care about both the environment and the well-being of our nation's truckers and their families.
