"It's cheaper to give newbies the loads"! Why?

Are you keeping a big secret from the rest of us ?

So freight rose 2.9 percent in the lst 6 months and will grow 2.8% this year and 3% each of the next years .
I wouldn't really call that a boom .

 

Ah hah! Thanks TinyTim!

 

You're welcome Sir. I have to say though, I'm surprised you wouldn't find that on your own. Hopefully you can learn to be a bit more um, resourceful once you get out on the road.

 

I am a bit techno-challenged, well, maybe more than a bit. Much of what I've read in the forum tells me that I'm way behind the 8-ball compared to a lot of these techno-whizzes that drive big ol' trucks. I mean that very respectfully, too! Again, thanks for the help!

 

Rick, I had actually scanned the BTS (RITA) data but not being familiar with the industry I really didn't know what I was looking at or how to interpret the info. I've made a paper copy of it to read later. Thanks for the tips. Soon enough I'll know it all!
