Truck Load Rates Halt 8 Week Slide 2.0

I would say big guys freight is about 1/3 of my loads.

 

It's interesting that you boost about how little you work and the great rates you get, and you are among the first to get in line for the welfare check.

 

$15/hr minimum wage. Woot woot! Now I can go work at Micky D’s and along with free food I’ll be rockstar status.

Sounds like the next round will be infrastructure to please the right while green new deal to please the left. Big spending frenzy along with higher taxes. Even with all this free money I think I would go short in the stock market right now.

 

This worries me.
1. Fiat money may really become fiat. Having any cash reserves may be just as bad as investing in this ballooned stock market.
2.Challenging a climate change is a litmus paper of what to expect. Fighting windmills in other areas of life is very possible too. At the expense of small business, I might add.

 

Hey I kinda get it even though I consider Scooter a friend of mine. We can’t always agree. I’ve been QUITE bitter the last several days. I guess I’m considered rich since I haven’t gotten a single stimulus payment through this entire covid hoax in the form of the checks they send out willy nilly. I did get the PPP last year but now I don’t qualify for round two because I actually kept my business open and did what the stimulus checks were meant for. To keep people working. So, now I’m penalized and will miss out on round two. This all the while as I pay a ton of taxes and looks like I’ll be paying even more soon unless I burn up my 179 deductions quicker then I should have too. Same time I drive a 2000 F350 and wear clothes that are 10 to 20 yrs old. You know, since I’m so rich and all.

I get a little tweaked when I always try and do the right thing and get penalized for it.

BUT, my point also is that I can’t be mad or upset at Scooter because he’s worked inside the parameters of the system. Hell, he even had his truck payments paid for 6 months through his SBA loan. He’s playing it smart.

 

I don’t see gold coming down anytime soon.

 

I started to understand too that in the system vs. Individual configuration; especially in times like these there's little room for chivalry. Polish cavalry died fighting Werhmacht in 1939.

 

I appreciate the vote of confidence. I sort of have backed off of numbers, capacity/demand, and prediction type talk. Some people like it but many people seem to get annoyed.

I also miss Boywander. Word on the street is he sold his truck.
