Truck Load Rates Halt 8 Week Slide 2.0

I fueled in TX for $1.80 per gal at Quick Fuel. The last time I was able to fuel for this price was in 2004.
I am not sure, if that is good at all. I would prefer that the oil fields workers here in U.S. stayed busy and all the flatbeds working there too.

A sudden spike in van/reefer loads to truck ratio is expected. We might benefit for the next few weeks as being the closest to the trough but it is never good when such sudden disruptions of equilibrium occur. I remember that in 2016 the slow down, among other things, was blamed on declining fuel prices and profitability disruptions in domestic oil field business.

And very good! He can suck it all up for the rest of his life.
He and the likes of him are lousy speculators. Scum! Shame on him. He could be summarily executed in North Korea or China for doing this too.

It would be like me demanding $10k for delivering respiratory aids to containment bases that are ... say 500 miles away. Let's hope there won't be any need for them.

 

So what's the difference between him and drug makers who have a 10,000% mark up on drugs that can prolong or save the lives of people with a variety of illnesses? They also do it with the blessing of lawmakers, many of whom own a lot of stock in those drug companies.

 

He is a Dostoyevsky's proverbial louse deserving Roskolnikov's axe blow on the head.

Federal Reserve, at least seen from where I stand, is like a terrestrial body from cosmos. What they do or intend is beyond comprehension of an average man.

 

I read in the news a couple of days age that NY's Gov is having the state inmates mfr hand sanitizer, producing thousands of gallons of it to be given out free. Some are having a fit though as the inmates are only getting "paid" .65 an hour...
