It's already started.

 

Isn't that how the entire industry works to begin with?

I've been here 7 months and rates have been generally the same.
Some weeks are a little better or worse than others but no big deal.

 

The overall world economy is starting a downward slide Gold , Oil dropping if the FEDERAL interest rates go up in Sept and that will put a slump into trucking

 

The second they start raising the interest rates people are going to start pulling money out of the stock market since other investments will become more attractive. One of the main reason stocks have been doing so good is because there's literally nowhere else to put your money and expect any sort of return under current conditions. AKA, stocks are artificially inflated currently.

 

I play the lottery so I can drink more beer.
(Everytime I buy a lottery ticket I buy a 12 pack...Better return on my investment)

Of course I am kidding.

 

There have been bad years and good years, but overall the trucking industry keeps growing NEWS FLASH when the ECONOMY TANKS nothing keeps growing , just look at the # of major players in the trucking industry that have gone BUST over the years and if interest rates go up companies stop expanding , people stop borrowing and overall spending declines and that effects the transportation / trucking industry.
