Here is why freight is drying up

but we need more drivers so the desperate truck drivers can sit, and starve in the truck stops, rather then our trucks sitting in our terminals with cold seats!!!

 

Your time/bills/life means nothing to us.

 

Hang on to your hats gents....prepare for market collapse 2015.
Many are forecasting October as the month it goes off the cliff....The worst is yet to come.

 

The worst being when the world no longer needs US currency. When they figure out a way to get their oil without having to first buy US dollars we will be in real trouble. Must keep using the military to try to ensure it does not happen. I think it is only a matter of time before the US dollar is no longer the world reserve currency.

 

Exactly. That is what China and Russia are working very hard on.

 

I am not an economist but I do know graphs show lots of things. First thing I noticed it was based on NY manufacturing records. Most manufacturing has moved to the southern climates because of cheaper operations. Raw materials are easier to source,labor is cheaper, freight cost are higher because no one want to go there. NY shouldn't be used as a bench mark unless that where all your business is located.
Second thing if you notice most of the decline occurs over the winter months,that's normal. 08 was definitely a bad year for everyone,,retail, real estate,manufacturing, right on down the line.
Yes it's easy to see charts going down but if you look at the overall average,,I don't see anything ( from the graph provided) that says sell the truck.

Trying to remain positive,,,I can still control my attitude...peace.

 

Here is why freight is drying up

freight is drying up, cuz no one wants to get the ticket in the drought areas, for watering it.

i certainly hope so...i need some time off.......but then again, i deliver electrical and plumbing supplies, so our freight is pretty consistent all year long.

 

if you believe that, I need to speak to you about some ocean front property just outside Phoenix AZ...
