    At first they would crash. People who couldn't afford all the gear they bought and got out of the business would lose it all. Then as demand picked back up the capacity would be strained and rates would skyrocket once more.

    Depends on the variant. One that just spreads slightly more easily but still spares 99.99% of the population is no big deal. One that kills off 15% of the population, infects children, the vaccinated and the previously infected will be very different. Don't worry, we still have direct flights from Africa with no quarantine or health screening (The new super-scary strain originated in Botswana). China is doing gain of function research on corona viruses TODAY. China hasn't been held accountable for the original recipe China Flu. It's only a matter of time until this gets serious.

    Yeah, I did say "major news" didn't I? Kind of implied at this point. Doesn't matter though because it's what the PIC are going to use to shove whatever they like down our throats. I'm way more interested in what another round of lockdownism would do to spot market rates though to be honest.

    There is no way u could get the people to lockdown again. I believe this time people would stand up and fight them. Which is what needs to happen

    wonder how many truckers had no fear and didn't live to hype it up.

    There's a prediction.
    By the end of spring. Everyone will be vaccinated. Recovered. Or dead.

    Which one will you be?

    I thought it was all better? Canada ( the world leaders in free government run healthcare ) just opened there borders back up. I thought that meant it was all over with?
