Trucking Industry and Jobs in Shambles; Trucking Industry and Jobs in Shambles; TruckingCrossing Strives to Increase Job Count Quote: December 29, 2008 -- Pasadena, CA — Thousands of trucking jobs have been slashed over the year due to rising fuel prices and the troubled US economy. Most of the trucking companies based in various US cities are facing the brunt of the enveloping recession. Media reports predict that as the recession dampens consumer spending and other activity, demand for trucking services has plunged too. The whole trucking industry is struggling, unable to bear the pressure generated by the overall downturn. ''The trucking industry is in a terrible state, and jobs are being slashed at an alarming rate to support the bottom lines of many trucking companies,'' says A. Harrison Barnes, CEO of TruckingCrossing, a leading job board for trucking professionals. Trucks move most of the nation's raw materials and crops to factories and processing plants. Then trucks transport those finished goods and spare parts to wholesalers and retailers. The trucking sector has always been a good indicator of broader economic health, reflecting the economy's boom-and-bust cycles. Four in five American communities consume goods that are delivered only by truck. More>> http://www.free-press-release-center...job-count.html

It appears the guy interviewed for this story. Was a little less than truthful about the services he offers to truck drivers. The same exact ads appear on the MS Jobs website. And the majority are placed by recruiters trolling for dollars. __________________ He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance........

I don't believe that one bit, I know where I'm at we're busier than ever and also where I live at we're not feeling the recession at all.
