More and more truck manufacturers are recognizing the growing danger on the open roads.  The nomads in America, and Australia, bandits and rebels in Asia, South, and Central America, and the ever present corporate competition, these all provide dangers untold for any vehicle moving goods between major cities.  The Mack Blockader is the latest answer, a heavily armored semi with enough speed, armor, and muscle to barrel its way through any obstacle.  Of course the fact that these trucks reach the highest dollar in the nomad community should tell you something about its toughness and reliability.
