    Thank you Sir! Love me some popcorn.

    Economics wise, we all knew the balloon was gonna burst at some point. Now it's got some pinholes, but it ain't blown out yet. It's coming though, no matter what we do.

    I ain't gonna worry. I'll just keep putting pennies in the Mason jar while I'm able.

    Hope there's cheese on that popcorn

    Mortgage rates hit 7% today.

    New trucks are never coming back to where they were pre-tard.

    I've read it on some of the esteemed threads.

    More is better. Everything is more now. Is better.

    My thoughts exactly. Order cancellations are on the way. I wonder how long it will take to hit bottom, and how far the rates can possibly go. From what I’ve been seeing so far, it’s happening very fast. How low? How long? I’m just about out of time myself. I don’t have any equipment payments. They can shove the cheap freight. Be a good time to stop Driving and start selling equipment. Sell mine, and get a job selling the others that are on the way. It’s going to be a free for all on equipment if rates stay low for a couple months. Trailer shortages may continue, but Truck prices are already in the toilet. Give it a few months. There’s going to be so many late model Trucks at auction, considering all the new entrants in the past 2 yrs. worse than 1999, and 2008. I don’t know the exact numbers, the direction is what matters most. Right now everything’s going the wrong way.
