General Discussion

had sort of picked up just a little in the first two months of the year but now in the last 6 weeks it has fallen a great deal. The load boards are way down for number of loads and the rates have fallen back to less than 20 years ago. As you know freight activity is always an early indicator of what is going to be. I feel bad because when this hits it's going to hit hard. I'm older than stardust and so I'll be shuffling along and living in the truck if I have to but a lot of young people are going to lose what they were building for.

When marriages get stressed by downturns the frustration and the fighting can start and then some don't make it. It's just a fact of the numbers and what divorce lawyers/courts see and know is coming. Parents fighting in front of the kids is a horrible thing and there is no place in the house to go where you don't hear it when Mom and Dad are screaming at each other.
