    Last year (2015) wasn't exactly great for freight in general, and Intermodal was no exception. 2016 will be worse...rates are coming down, the low price of fuel means the FSC is near non-existent and might even go away if fuel keeps going down. The oil field trucks are everywhere (Elwood, G4, Landers, Harvey...), Shipments from China are WAY down, EOBR's are supposedly coming in 2017 and few sectors of trucking are as dependent on paper logs, ahem, as Intermodal....Starting a business is hard enough, might as well wait a year for better economic times....

    Or not....just saying....
