Trucking jobs evaporate as shortage worsens

According to my former colleagues, who works there now.
Bison loads are lower, but they have a new owner now.
They might do OK, in the end.
Transx miles are low too.
Their main customer, Costco is cutting loads left and right.
Key West are still holding, but they are small and dedicated.
T.E.A.M.S are still holding too.
Those are all Canadian carriers.
Loblaws share is growing, but they are not a carrier.
If you guys in USA see a different picture, please share.
The reefer loads might go up maybe past mid October, maybe.
