    I just hope it's not a replay of what happened 8 years ago when we were dealing with the same situation. At least there's no housing bubble backed by shady mortgages that's about to burst. I'm not exactly feelin comfy, though. It could suck for me, being a low man at an LTL right now.

    Most likely, less freight. It is an election year after all. Or you can look at it as more parking in the truck stops at night. ;)

    Or... It could be those that some of those who normally ship truckload switch to LTL as freight volumes drop and your work actually increases...

    I know, I know, just trying to keep your spirits up!
