I know this last quarter was the lowest number of Class 8 trucks sold in a very long time. It's been declining for awhile and keeps going down. The sign of a good economy is lots of freight being moved by truck and train. When trucks aren't being replaced, it means the freight isn't as good, which means the economy stinks. Anyone who believes we are okay believes a fairy tale.
KANSAS TRANSIT Thanks this. -

Also, they tell me they are hiring again, so there must be new orders on the horizon somewhere.
I deliver a mixture of Class 8's and straights, so maybe I'm just not noticing a slowdown, but still... -

Hamburger71, my understanding is that they layed off a ton of people in NC as well as Mexico a couple of months back. I've got a friend that retired in NC that used to deliver FreightShakers to. He kind of keeps his hand on the pulse!
Don't get me wrong, they are still getting orders, however, as I pointed out, the mega bottom feeders are turning trucks in! -
