    The question is ... is their business so good they need the extra capacity to meet temporary demand? Or is this a permanent business model change to reduce [labor] costs?

    I saw this too a month ago in Wy. ABF and almost all LTL is hurting for linehaul drivers. These jobs are now going to job fairs it's pretty bad. ABF has a ton of drivers retiring too. Some are cashing out cause of the change of the regulations.
