They look large. They just set them up. I guess they are waiting for the new road to be built.

Nice shot Charles.  

Great shot Charlie.    Those are some huge warehouses.  I'm amazed at how many trucks can be loaded/unloaded at one time. Hopefully, they will employ a lot of warehouse employees.

It looks like they will employ many.

That's great for the local economy and workers seeking jobs for sure.

We used to make things now we just ship them.

I see that happen a lot at the local port.  All these big container ships coming in loaded down and bringing  products from South America and other locations.  All that gets done then is load them on trucks and haul them across the states.  Then the container ships head back with empty containers to complete the round trip once again.   

It seems it is cheaper for companies to have products produced overseas, shipped in and then distributed and still make a profit.  If they had to make it here the cost to the customer would be prohibitive.

It certainly has.  Old school work ethic will be a thing of the past soon.

I understand people not wanting to do physical labor but it's unanimous.
