New Walmart fleet

Hmmm well I don't think It comes with mirrors? Not going to be easy for the fresh out of driving school guys to back up to the dock!

Haven't you gotten the memo?? They're replacing mirrors with cameras!!

I think it's a BAD IDEA!!!!! I mean, when you break one where do you get it fixed for under $30 and if you get ice or mud on one how do you see with it??????? NOT to mention that us drivers are used to mirror placement and will still look to the old mirror locations in a panic in bad traffic. OUCH!!!!!

..and it's not just the mirrors. All modern vehicles come with large, complicated, expensive to replace panels (I wonder how much it would cost to replace a 53-foot one piece carbon panel on that Walmart truck!! ...carbon breaks, it doesn't get dented like metal..). These things are simply not suited for all the little dents and accidents that occur in every day usage..
