    Reefer rates are supply and demand. If population grows we need more Reefer trucks to haul food. If there is no increase in Reefer haulers rates go up. Open deck and tanker are market driven tied to industry. Reefer is about caloric intake of the population. I don’t see Reefer rates dropping outside the normal regional up/ and downs due to seasonal harvest.

    Went to a concert last weekend and signs were everywhere. The only people wearing masks were the workers. When I was in Nashville you hardly saw one.

    I was terribly sick worst ever in Feb of 2020. I hadn’t been sick since until about 3 weeks ago and got terribly sick again with 103 fever for almost 5 days. What’s crazy is my lungs took a major beating but yet my head was totally clear. I’m still coughing and wheezy all this time later. Guess I’ll go get an antibody test. I told several people that soon they’ll be reporting on a new covid 21. Looks like it’s here. My 5 yr old normally gets sick for a day and then is fine, even he coughed for about 2 weeks. It’s definitely something different.

    Kinda interesting that all of this time has passed and people don’t know what covid 19 even stands for.

    take daily vitamins with extra shot of vitamin c bud. I’ve been on vitamins for about 5 years and not to jinx it I stopped getting runny noses and fevers. Even when I’m in a t-shirt in 20 degree weather.


    Our current foods are high on carbs and low on the vitamins we need.

    I’d go get checked ASAP
    I have been ill maybe 3-4x my entire life. I simply just never get sick but I just spent 11 days in the hospital with covid and covid pneumonia
    Probably one of the worst things I’ve ever gone through,
    Local clinic said I caught bronchitis and gave some meds and sent me home. 4 days later I was in the ER with some glass like shards as the dr explained and fluid in my lungs
    Whatever went on. It was a long ugly ordeal although I had oxygen pumped to the max for several days they did everything they could to keep me off the ventilator

    Well, if this time is like the last time........the governments will send everyone home, send them piles of free money for doing nothing, with which the bored people will buy piles and piles of stuff. And all stuff comes on a truck, and rates go through the roof once more.

    Then again, I’m in the “we’re not going to take anymore” camp, and I expect things to get woolly if this is going to be a “second verse, just like the first” attempt.
