The freight recession is officially over.

Definitely it’s over

That’s $0.18 per mile..not a typo.

 

It's on the list as part of the AIM Act. I'm trying to find the specific timelines for it, and parsing through final rules on EPA nonsense is annoying. I'll update more as I find it, but here's the link from the Federal Register.

And you have to stay under it for 3 days. Just wow

 

It was supposed to be implemented January 1, 2017. But apparently that's not the case.

New vehicles were supposed to have it by that date but i’ve been finding 2019’s still with 134.

 

I’m 90% sure my 2019 ranger has 1234 in it

 

I dunno. I'm not up to speed on that beyond slamming 134 into my POV and doing some sketchy stuff with the home HVAC.

This is what I was able to find, further, before work got in the way:

Yea perfect timing on this b.s. right when trump is elected. But How can there be a freight recession when theres a so called driver shortage. The contract market looks Trucking as usual to me; No supply chain disruptions, low shipper tender rejections. And major freight corridors have a lot more heavy truck traffic. The spot market looks like its never going to recover due to covid with all the fraud and carrier overcapacity.
