    Shaky at best for the entire industry. You've got the Euro ready to collapse, fracking causing pollution (just in WY so far, but facts never stop the greenies), NAR over reporting home sales for the last 5 years, and a bubble on Wall Street due to cheap money. We're one event from the double dip sending us back into a depression. Of course, in history, the folks that weather the storm, go gangbusters in good times. There will rarely be a perfect time to go into business. Going in prepared will give you piece of mind and security.

    Why? It's politics and the politicians that for the most part got us into this mess, that and our own stupidity ie. overextending, complacency and ignorance.

    We have a politics section for political debate. Politics belongs there. That is part of the forum rules.

    Freight will be moved, trucks will roll, and the news media will continue to attempt to out fear in the hearts of everyone and incite mass panic. It will never change so long as common sense is not so common

    There is no debate. The fact is what I stated above, the fact is transportation is married to politics, always has been always will be. If it will make you feel better move it.
