    If you would sell it for $45 I would happily add it to my fleet. If you are wanting to sell it for $45K I would have to take a hard pass on that one.

    in 12 months, the price of trucks has tripled.
    In 18 months, the price of reefers and dry vans has doubled.
    That is only our industry.

    Your numbers are slightly inflated but even if they were spot on they are not anywhere near hyperinflation. Hyperinflation would be the price of equipment doubling every 30 days. What we have is pretty bad but it could be way worse. And there's no guarantees that it won't go there I'm just saying it ain't that yet.

    Brandon says ..We are just growing our economy because of the pandemic .. and if we just trust him & they will pass is 3.5 trillion Build Back Better plan.. We'll all be stepping in high cotton.. and farting rainbows
    I say B### S@@#.... our store shelves are half empty.. fuel is 4.00 a gallon.. and 1/2 of what you need is back ordered.. Technically your right it's not hyperinflation.. but we are in the fast lane running WFO... to get there

    LET'S GO BRANDON

    No ####. I went to the marine supply store, the shelves were half empty, no hose clamps to be found in stainless steel.... This #### is getting bad. We rely too much on China to supply our lives. We need to make more #### here. I think the best thing to do is let the port issue get worse, so businesses will build new manufacturing.

    No, that's simple supply and demand in our industry. When everything you have to purchase goes up at least 100% in a year, then you can call it hyperinflation.
