More Bad News.....

I'm ready to upgrade my truck, bring on the crash so I can buy one cheap again

 

Lol of course my timing as always is perfect I spent nine months last year unable to drive because of an injury used all my savings to live off of and am finally just starting to do ok again and now things are turning for the worse. Luckily I have no problem working as much as possible to correct this and do not have a truck payment, but racked up credit cards while making nothing last year trying to get my license operational and keeping my business operational. So I am still not sitting that bad but could be awfully easily

 

Unless you are buying up stuff at half the price not sure how it could be good for anyone?

 

And your co driver would appreciate backing up the shorter trailer!

 

Oh we're way, way too old to swap horses now.

I'm just giving our younger viewers a free tip.

 

Funny, I went to buy work clothes Sunday and couldn’t find what I needed. Shelves completely bare. I don’t buy the expensive stuff or Walmart. But I go to Walmart and other stores and it’s the same thing. So how are we going into a bare market when the supply chain hasn’t even caught up? I’m not acting like I know everything about economics but it’s hard to believe what these so-called experts are saying. I think it’s more fake industry news to get these brokers to run freight prices down. A quick look at at DAT right now for Atlanta going anywhere and there are 1300+ loads posted and it’s 11pm. At 8am it’ll be double that. But most O/O won’t fight for extra money because they’re already convinced the market is tanking. I’ll start listening to these so called experts when they start predicting an uptick ever now and then. They won’t though because Nobody sells news unless is bad.

 

I'm not seeing much of a rate decrease. Guess it will happen it always does. For all you guys hoping us small carriers will fail even the ones like me who just lease on, can eat my starfish. Seen it before and pretty sure I will make it through this too Whatever. Dudes wishing for others failure seems sad.

 

####, son.

 

Just a make belive scenario.. let's just say somebody paid 100k for a 379 that was really only worth 65k.. and when things go south its only worth 45k and nobody has any money to throw around so I offer the guy 37k or let the bank take it from him..Plus I don't have compete with 25 other tards wanting to spend every last penny they have like they have been lately.. I consider that a win

 

I don't want to see anybody fail, but I would like to see normal used truck prices again
