    Well DAT says rates are at record levels for van and reefer, so it must be true.

    I'm not saying anything.
    To quote a famous sergeant "I know nothing."
    But, it's starting to get really silly. And this is only the beginning of the beginning.

    That's pretty solid by any estimation.

    Idk. I run dedicated motorcycle and atv parts and just found out my freight volume will likely be cut in half due to tariff's and the impending trade war. Thinking about giving up my spot in the rotation and hitting the dry van spot while the getting is good. Problem is I would rather run 1.90 dedicated than 3.00 on speculation and seat of my pants. Decisions are part of the game I guess.
    Hope I'm wrong, but I see this market flipping like a cheap burger. You will see it at the ports first.

    I don't see people adhering from spending.
    No way.
    They may start spending on different things. But you can bet, they're gonna spend.

    An old friend of mine's cousin is married to her and he's not known for picking losers. So I would totally believe it.

    Just did Shreveport to Memphis for 1100 to the truck. Rates are definitely falling and not just softening.
