    It’s going to be a better year. Maybe not great, but better. Everything corrects itself eventually. The Feds finally stopped raising rates, even said they’re probably going to lower rates later this year. So we should avoid a housing crash. People will be more able to buy houses. A lot of Builders are on hold right now, even though theres still demand, mainly because of uncertainty caused by higher rates. Should see an uptick in new housing. That should keep durable goods selling. If produce gets off to a good start in spring, everyone should benefit. I’ve always done better with my dry van when the reefers are busy. Till spring time reefers are loading more dry van freight. I think anyone that can survive the first few months of this year, will be glad they didn’t quit. But Im always wrong. Should have been an economist. They’re always wrong. Lol.

    This was a year after I got mine polished. It was done by Evan's in Chilton Wi. I thought he did a good job in case you're looking for a place to do it. He does a few show trucks. (Love the Pete btw)

    I believe they are doing in only because of the elections. I told you it will happen when races will begin. But it will last only a short awhile when things will go down again. Too many wars and too much money is needed by the government...
    Sadly, by borrowing, you put yourself more in a downpour and a short relief will be too short to recover.
    Warehouses are striking in the Midwest. Again union workers on strike.
    So, loads are cancelled. But they don't know they are taking the truckers out of work, ones to help them move it when they need us.

    Well I finally got around to filling out a voluntary revocation request. Got it Notarized. Called Insurance Friday, canceled my insurance. Realized on Sunday that I hadn’t sent the request it. Called today to cancell my cancellation, till the request goes through. That was close. I’ll probably never use it again. Doesn’t cost anything to keep it for now.
