I have noticed this too, everyone is cutting corners in an attempt to stay in business. Squeezed by government regulations and mandates on one side and China & India on the other. Just read an article this morning how government regulations are running all the long haul truckers out of business which is madness since 70% of our goods come on trucks!
Another aspect of the problem is that after NAFTA they are allowing trucks from Mexico on U.S. highways without having to be compliant with U.S. inspections or standards.:wack:
