Trucking outlook remains upbeat

"Despite the generally good environment, fleets are going to have to watch costs carefully, he told the ATA membership. Significantly higher equipment replacement costs, increased maintenance costs driven by an aging U.S. truck fleet, and higher wages for drivers are among the major factors driving those costs, according to the economist."
Higher driver wages ? Maybe for drivers paid percentage if rates go up . Also note that the wages are the last item listed . I bet there's no money left for that after the replacement and maintenance costs are met .

 

That is good to hear.

 

Ain't it, now...

Deception is everywhere, and right now, these are the good old days.
It ain't gonna get no better. Quite the opposite.

Think derivatives and their affect on the economy.

What is liquidity, anyway???

 

Sad ain't it? All the "young bloods" will have to look back on fondly is Rap, Obama, "when Megacarriers was only 10,000 trucks" and "somewhat English" was the spoken language, Si?

Liquidity is what runs down your leg when you rush madly into the truckstop and the bathroom has a "Closed for Cleaning/Repairs" sign onnit.
