Considering 2nd Mortgages are about maxed out,
Credit card debt is about maxed out
The cost of living continues to rise
The cost of Government continues to rise
and
Most jobs no longer pay a living wage, I would say we have a fair chance of seeing a very difficult 2008 and many owner operators and small companies will cease to exist right along with many small restaurants and other businesses that can not withstand a slow down in the economy.
Scary but it is a fact we are facing.

Worst company to work for, My So worked for them as a lease operator and found out in one month that they are very ruthless company.So he wanted to opt out on his 6 month demo and work for company instead and they didn't want to work with him,then his dm never wanted to dive him aroute back to Salt lake City to turn his truck in so now we owe them money. and on top of that ended haveing -#on paycheck. He tried working with them and telling them my family can't eat with me just owing you money and the left him with no option but to quit. Christmas is coming and our baby might not have a present under the tree and our new baby on the way well might have to wear his big brothers clothes out the hospital. never sign a lease with them thats how they make all their money.So newbies watch out.

i vote for other, meaning STAR TRANSPORT(morton,il).
i think a 16yr with a new license can drive better than a so called trained swift professional. had to say it lol. swift is prob. the worst. -
First off Lucky, sorry for getting personal for calling you a nut. that was wrong and I apologize.
Now, You list so many things that are wrong. Instead of just saying it, why dont you back it up with figures and stats instead of the liberal media vomit you seem to be listening to? 95% failure rate on personal finances?? what is your source for that info. I just quit my job in media/press to get back in a truck making less by choice. Based on my media experience, nothing is considered factual based on heresay from one person. Please list your sources and figures/stats to back up what you are saying so an intelligent conversation can exist. debating based on just your words is futile. Put some credibility into what you have said if you want it to have any teeth. sorry, anyone can come on here and just state what they want to say without anything to back it up. You do have that right in this country. Give all of us some proof of what you say. And lets face it, you still live in this country because it is still the best place to live and fit your lifestyle. If its that bad you should consider going to a better country with more opportunity?? ya? I hate it when people bash our country and decide they want to still live here in spite of how bad it is. Its so bad, there certainly is a better country that you will believe in more right? One that you could speak more positively about right? One with better opportunity right? If not, then use your vote to change things and start finding what IS positive about our country and focus on what YOU can change. Complaining and negativity gets nothing accomplished. What will YOU... YOU... YOU do to make a difference?? Start there. Then think about all the freedoms we have as americans. Everyone in this country makes their choices as far as how hard they work and the opportunities they create out of their hard work. Cant tell me its bull, because I am not an intellectual, I have been given no money. I did it all myself with not even a degree. How did I do it and how do I suceed? I have no connections or golden handshakes. alot of the things you are talking about are from peoples greed (not governments, so dont take this opportunity to bash government again) and making bad choices. Housing market is one of them. I had the opportunity to take part in the great adjustable rate mortgage too. It was BS when I looked at it and it is the same BS now. When you get greedy there is always someone around to lighten your wallet. Put the blame on the individuals that cause their own problem instead of telling everyone it is a social ill and how everyone should take care of their problems. Its all about how bad do you want the american dream and how bad do you want to work for it. Common sense has more to do with ones prosperity than blaming everything on the evil empire "Lady Liberty" Quit listening to liberal media. They dont present any facts or figures to back up their stories either. they throw the mud and see what sticks and then never talk about situations they get caught on EVER again. -
FACT: YOU AND EVERYONE ELSE WHO HAS THE DESIRE CAN TAKE $14 PER MONTH AND TURN IT INTO A SEVEN FIGURE INCOME WITHIN A FEW MONTHS. Now most would say this statement is garbage and that I don't know what I am talking about. Little to they know and the fact is they know absolutely nothing about the business world when they trash statements like this.
For facts on the economy and history of this world we don't turn to the news or to the church. We have to go to libraries and search engines. For facts on earning money we go to those publications that teach us where the real opportunities are. MLM has made more millionaires than any other source of opportunities in decades. Yet, most people look at them as some kind of pyramid scheme and have no idea that a scheme is nothing more than a plan and everything in life is a pyramid, but the only thing illegal is what is called a ponzi where you have no legitimate business because there is no product or service being sold.
Now, that being said, I am not recruiting; just stating a fact. Want proof, then I have to have volunteers to prove what I say. Now, that smacks of recruiting, but no one has to volunteer to get the education. Fact is no one has to put one dime into anything to get the education and understand the facts. But they must do something if they want to know the truth.
FACTS are JUST statements and figures placed on paper that most people will never pay any attention to, so to prove what I say to you means very little unless you really want to know. Now, if that be the case, then we can't discuss it here as too many would not want to hear it. They are too happy being in the rut of struggling from paycheck to paycheck.
Negative? Well, given the fact the rich and the poor are all on this ship and when it sinks, even those who have something will lose! Reason to worry about the future? You bet!
You talk like a person who really cares about your future, and yet when someone makes states of fact that can be backed up; even on the evening news throughout the year, you don't seem to be catching on to the reason for the points stated.
FACT: 1970 the US Dollar was changed from the Gold Standard to an Oil Standard.
FACT: Henry Kissenger provided a Pact for OPEC to sign that guaranteed they would use the Dollar Bill as their exchange medium for oil. In other worlds we are required to buy their oil and if we chose to provide our own, they don't have to keep their bargain and they can switch to the EURO which places our Dollar in the Toilet.
FACT: Only two countries failed to sign this Kissenger Plan; Iraq, Iran.
FACT: If Iraq Fails, our Dollar goes in the Toilet
FACT: If Iran provides cheap oil to the world market based on the EURO, our dollar goes into the toilet.
FACT: We have enough oil in Alaska to provide this country quite well for 200 years but we can't bring it to our refineries because of the Middle East Accord with OPEC in the 1970's.
FACT: If we are in debt when the Dollar goes down, we are in real trouble; even more so than if we were financially solvent.
SO WHY ARE AMERICAN'S IN SO MUCH DEBT?
FED - WORLD BANK - US GOVERNMENT DEALS
Now, I have provided the necessary reference list in movies and books, but I won't quote paragraph, line or verse. -
The burden of proof is not on the readers of this site. YOU have stated things you want to present as facts. It is up to you to present the proof. Not everyone reading. YOU presented the case, not us. I still havent seen any proof. Again I say, if this is such a bad country, Why not find another one to live in?? One that you believe in more? A $14 program fixes the world??? What is that?? If it were that easy, everyone would do it. MLM marketing?? I've been in sales along time and they are total BS. It makes the schemer rich. Im sorry to say, youre delusional without any proof. Thats just the way I see it. show me something. dont give me some web site to read liberal media. Show me STATS! There are none. I may be mistaken... then show me. Again, I am prospering, Im going back to being a trucker and will continue to prosper. What are you making now that you have "Seen the light"? Back it up. I've just not seen any real proof in your last statement. You can quote me till the cows come home, but you still havent shown me any proof. If it would take you too long to list it, then show one topic at a time to make it more managable. Im willing to look at proof, but if you keep on listing things with none, then I will quit reading. You posted what you did, not me. Now prove it or Im forced to quit reading and responding. (not to mention its wayyyyy off topic).

spaking of topic lol I had to add my 2 cents and say swift is baaaaad. I went to their school for 2 days and had to leave it was a zoo off people there 150 showin up each week. and the hotel was garbage.

Fact is, 2008 will be a much worse year than 2007 and the trucking industry will be hit by it. We can not continue to live by credit/debt and expect to maintain a standard of living in this country and that is just what we have been doing since the late 1960's when credit became much easier to obtain. Good luck! -
Dcodd. To earn a living in the Trucking Industry you must drive so many miles per day, per week, per month, etc. If you have a bad dispatch, you don't get the miles and that means you don't get the money. That is Job Dependence.
In the Trucking Industry you must drive approximately one month for free every year because of the Industry use of the House Hold movers guide. If you have driven for any time you know that if you leave Chicago for LA, your paid miles run out around Barstow. That means you drive LA for Free. (Multiple drops: sorry about that: tough)
That is the product of being dependent in an industry that does not care anything about you other than, you pick up and deliver on time.
The majority of truck companies are the same. Some good, some bad, but all Job Dependency for you financial needs and I have known many company drivers and owner operators who were dependent upon companies they worked or were leased on to that went bankrupt; families trying to get welfare but too much income, yet not enough to support from truck income. (Average income: One month you pay bills, the next, you don't all because of dispatch or economy)
Fact: There are failures in the Business world.
Fact: there are success stories in the Business world.
Fact: There are far more success stories in the MLM world than there have been or ever will be in the Trucking Industry.
Fact: There will always be those who fail at almost anything they try!
Why?
Now, ask me to back up those facts! Common sense is not always so common is it?
