    Stores closing has nothing to do with the amount of online shopping I'm sure.

    Right. People are very narrow focused. Especially truck drivers. Rates are down so it must mean the economy is doing poorly.

    The currency is doing poorly. Dont measure a fiat currency against another fiat currency. Measure it against its self 30 years ago. How much was a semester of school.. A whopper, a house, a can of WD40 or tranny fluid or an F350? How much are these items today?

    Over printing of the currency has diluted it for all of us. Rising expenses paid for with dwindling dollars.

    Yes poor trucking rates are related to the overall condition of economy.
    Whatever. However. Period.
