    The point that Les was trying to make is that there is too much transport capacity for the amount of available freight, keeping the rates suppressed.
    The reality is that more companies are going to close.
    There is no call under the sun for a company to close up shop the way that Arrow did it.
    Companies close all the time. Its the way that Arrow went about it, that left folks in a lurch.

    Well it is almost 3pm now - are the TMC trucks lined up at the fuel islands or lined up at shippers hauling freight?
    No insult intended to Les2 on my last reply - I just get fed up with stupid rumors. Thanks to everyone who chipped in comments - makes it fun

    So they've told a couple of hundred drivers, who are supposed to remain silent? Not tell a soul, until it happens? Yeah, that's going to happen....
