Truck Load Rates Halt 8 Week Slide 2.0

Finding employees willing to work is a real problem for companies right now because of the unemployment benefits being made available.

About an hour ago I was passed by 5 empty bull racks with Washington plates here in NorCal heading south. I got on my radio and said, #####, the cattle business must be kicking butt right now.
