Reference recent freightwaves article. The capacity is plummeting as demand is skyrocketing again... Except this time the big bomb just went off.
Transportation capacity dips further, prices keep surging
The Biden administration Vaxx mandates are going to cause another massive drop in capacity as people weigh the dangerous side effects on their lives VS keeping their job at the Megas.

But you have to wait until all the legal wrangling gets over with first...by then we'll be in such a deep recession because of sky high inflation that rising rates will only bring the rates out of the basement.

Companies are already placing these restrictions in effect and rewriting policy to accommodate the illegal mandate.
(Tyson foods is one of the first big ones)
Anyways rates are at record highs and climbing... Eventually the market will correct, most likely in dramatic crashing fashion along with the us dollar.Trucker61016, MM71, bzinger and 1 other person Thank this. -

Yes I’m sure all these factory workers are independently wealthy and can walk away from their job. They can go months without a cheque.

I see independents getting a chance to pick up some more hands, larger companies losing hands, and quite a few hanging up their keys. Either for retirement, or to switch into another line of work.
One thing is certain, it won't just be maintaining status quo. -

And that handful could well be key personnel in the management ranks. HR, Accounting, planning.
These will be the long time employees who can take early retirement: go elsewhere, and do as well and to them, better.
Losing the old heads, who know what do do and when to do it is the hurt. And lots of these people really do have firm opinions and think for themselves, and not the loud media grabbing ones who really do not understand the issue.
A company with 4 of 5 plants (furniture, here in NE Mississippi) can easily re organize into that many operations with less than 100 people (Hell, they have done it for years to go BK and clean up) well before this is settled into enforceable law.
Dad and his twin bro: raised in logging, timber cruising and lumber had an expression. "Just sit in the saddle and saw wood".
I never really understood the saddle to sawmill wood, but I know how it works.
You are doing something. There appears a great change/problem that will affect your wellbeing if it becomes actual as you are told. No biggie to them, they just continued on steadily and adjusted their operations so it did not really affect them.
We went from raising hogs for a packer in 40-48 to cattle the 50's to soybeans finally. Dad, Mom, Aunt Winnie, and us 6 kids.
Never missed a meal or went in ragged overalls. So, truck on with your present plan, be aware of opportunities (caused by weak sister's jumping off too soon) adapt as you need to keep from having too.KB3MMX, Rideandrepair, clausland and 4 others Thank this. -
Tyson already has been having a hard time finding people to work there, around here anyway. Regular ads on radio stations for plant workers at $15 hr to start with full bennies, As well as chicken, feed and reefer truck drivers. Any more workers they lose over this will hurt them. But I'm sure their "experts" figured this into everything. Not.

It's obscene society is being forced to give up its last semblance of freewill and personal rights but it's happening right now, and there isn't enough will to change it.old time, KB3MMX, Trucker61016 and 2 others Thank this.
