Trucking Economist Predicts “A Lot of Trucking Failures” Coming Soon Due to Pandemic What do yall th

So what are you gonna do if you finally throw in the towel cause you aren't even making enough to fuel the truck? Give it back to Dart and continue to pay the note on a truck you dont even use?

File bankruptcy?

 

I cannot count the number of companies and owner operators I have seen go bust trying to drive themselves to profitability, and instead drove right into bankruptcy. Miles Miles Miles doesn't mean anything. Just ask all the jerks that read that on the back of a trailer, go to work for a company with that mantra and find out the hard way.

 

Swifty is that you?

 

I did read exactly what you wrote. And you are still wrong. Cop an attitude if you like. It doesn't change anything. This disease has a transmission rate just over 2. Influenza has a rate 1.3.. some of those diseases I mentioned have transmissions rates of 8 or higher. Some of them have double digit rates. Read exactly what I wrote. I never said deadly either. BTW, those transmission rates come from CDC numbers.

 

Couple of things guys. First, if you DID let everyone back out, then we WOULD have a severe death rate. Because the hospitals would be overwhelmed and not have enough room for all the sick. Then we'd have to do like Italy, and start capping who is viable to save. First they started at 80, then they went down to 60. It is probably one of the reasons, besides accurate testing numbers, that their mortality rate is so high vs the rest of of the world. They want people isolated so that it flattens how fast we are spreading the disease, allowing the hospitals to "try" and keep up with it. On the Typhoid and Small Pox. Both of those we have "cured" to some degree. Assuming people get their vaccines. Malaria's rate of infection can't be used in this situation. As it is spread by being bit. Which means anyone can get it no matter how careful you are. Also those first two diseases happened when health care was shyte compared to right now. So even with all the things we do to be health this virus has one of the highest infection factors. Really it isn't a matter if if you'll get it, but when.

 

Routing myself to Minnesota to turn it in. Doesn't make sense to keep running.

 

Will see what they say in morning at terminal.

 

Lol!! First of all, Malaria is not a virus.
Experts are now saying their calculations were off. They estimate that as many as 1/3 of us here might have already contracted the virus. Entire apartment complexes and people inside hotels have contracted the virus despite self isolating themselves. In a town in Italy were they were under extreme isolation conditions, 70% of the town still tested positive after six weeks of staying isolated. They suspect the virus to be more vaporized and airborne to the point it can travel along the air ducts even if they’re not interconnected and enter multiple apartments infecting people and stay alive for 7 to 10 days in that environment. It travels along pipes from one apartment or one hotel room to another. Given it was an engineered virus in all likelihood, it makes sense.
We don’t know what the calculated infection rate is, yet, But after we develop and circulate the antibody test if 100 million Americans or something like that have already went through this virus, you can rest assured it would be labeled as the most contagious virus we’ve seen. For a plethora of reasons. Not just person to person transmission but how long it survives and seemingly travels.

There’s hotspots and pockets about the world were the vast majority of people in these places are catching this virus and they have no idea how they got it. They were completely hold up and self isolation for months. And yet they’re all still contracting it.

 

I don't want to be mean or insensitive. But from your picture you look a bit young to be doing lease/purchase. I would have done a few years with a company and saved up. That way you have the ins and outs to do it. No granted you've been on here for 7 years. So that pic of you might be 7 years old, too.

 

I been company for 2years. Lease for 2yrs. Waiting on parts screwed me.
