Regardless of where your interest in the truck industry is (if it’s even there), if you have a thing for informative, somewhat whimsical true stories, this article is for you. Have you ever seen a bunch of trucks just sitting around and wondering why they’re always there? It seems like they almost never move — if they ever move at all. “Why Are So Many Trailers Just Sitting There?” explains just what those trucks do in the form of a tale of curiosity.
Key Takeaways:
- Railroad tracks tend to run past America’s back yards. Some of the scenes are gritty, especially in old, big cities, where many things have deteriorated over the years and litter has been strewn and left to rot.
- Even in small towns and rural areas, there are abandoned and neglected buildings, and all kinds of debris – scraps of old wood and chunks of aged concrete scattered around a property, and sometimes old cars and trucks, seemingly parked one last time by hoarders who probably weren’t aware that their unwillingness to discard anything is a recognized psychiatric disorder.
- Trailers were parked smartly in ranks or backed against docks, with several staged in precise lines nearby, apparently waiting to be grabbed and loaded, then sent on their way.
