    U know empty is good/bad. Good bcz no trucks to worry about. Bad cuz work might be slow.

    Yappppp.. .the coy's of intermodal... sheesus lewis man. In my 5 years.. never had I experienced such a year as last year (4th quarter) plus this year.. just very odd. I mean, yeah.. we're working.. still OK... but it's just very #### weird as to what's going on in the intermodal biz.
