    Funny. Just another article not actually addressing the real causes. Funniest part of the article is claiming Everybody's working with great service in the service industry. Yet. No one needs any goods to be moved or can pay to have them moved. Lmao!

    The amount of BS in this article is astounding
    Of course the once stellar business publication isn’t much of a yardstick since Murdoch took over
    And retail fuel prices are still ridiculously inflated
    The only telling piece is the o/o out of Virginia that said
    “I’m takin Every Load I can get my hands on trying to keep my head above water”
    You can almost definitely define that as” I’m the reason rates are in the toilet”

    Just about every one of these articles STATE things have fallen to pre pandemic levels .. so until overcapacity decreases how can anyone expect more .. if the plandemic never happened would we be hurting or just business as usual ..

    If the panicdemic never happened 2020-2022 would have been a slowdown, probably would have already recovered by now. Its amazing what printing a few trillion dollars will do to kick the can down the road.

    The diesel slide the article depicts is not common. Just crossed prices. Must have been written by a broker!
