Wait till the market is flooded with these vehicles...there will be a surplus and prices for new and used will go down.
not if the dollar continues to inflate like a mother ****er
There’s no shortage of drivers.
The annual employee turnover in the trucking industry averages 130%
the average truck driver quits after 3-4 months . Because the companies treat them so bad.
The average pay is almost exactly the same as it was 30 years ago.
In 1995 I had my own used rig that cost me $15k, and I was getting paid $1.25 a mile to haul someone else’s trailer and cargo.
Today, 30 years later, the average is $1.65 a mile , when it should be around $4 dollars just to have kept up with inflation.
the shortage is of companies that will pay the drivers a good wage and treat them like human beings.
that’s why a lot of the truck drivers now, are immigrants.
They will work for next to nothing and won’t complain about the way they get treated.
IIRC, Taiwan is the country of origin for 95% of the chips.
The chips go through several intermediaries before the retail vendor, with every stage getting their markup.
If the companies treat the drivers like crap and they quit, doesn't that create a shortage of drivers? Feel like you explained why there is a shortage.
You do have chips, just not many. Unless you have converted to a point and coil ignition.
It is the modern Can-Bus that requires up to 100 chips per vehicle.
