Sign of an Economic Downturn?

[Clayton_Wetters]

good to see you back clayton! Ps, didn't quote the message due to length.

Trucking is definitely cyclical and yes, it has periods of driver shortages. But from use of a quick google search, most of your data is from jan 2019. Stuff's happened since then eh?

Many are seeing the more recent trend as a broader indication of a near term downturn, opposed to the normal industry churn. Have something more up to date that shows otherwise?

USMCA!!!! Maga!!!! Kag!!!!!

AC Come join the Trump Train...

True story on how I know your post is bs!

I live in a large southern metropolis. Every major player in the trucking industry has a hub here.

Several years ago, my cousin was a union driver for one of the larger ones. He got severely injured on the job and of course they didn't want to pay. He had over 20 years with them and no claims or accidents. He ended up suing and won a high 6 figure settlement!

Because the market is so strong, the company has contacted him and offered him another job!

Trucking companies in my area are desperate for more drivers!

For the great economic minds around here, curious if any of y'all see this as a potential warning sign that an economic contraction (recession) is nearing:

Trucking company bankruptcies have more than tripled in the first half of this year, compared to the same period over the prior year.

I bet you and your anti American communist scumbag buddies would like nothing better for our country !!!!

He grabbed em by the kitty.........and has never let go.

It's a shame they can't step outside of their bodies and look at themselves......the paradigm shift since the nut crushing defeat is childish and silly.

This current tide of dems are the Kid in floor of Walmart kicking and screaming because he didn't get the toy.....like it or not folks, thats what you look like.

Now, quit acting like an idiot and get up off the floor before mom and dad whip your a SS in front of everyone......oh , and get back to work.

Mean while the kid on the floor says well come on over here old man and try and whip my --- the kid then proceeds to get up and puts a can of whoop --- on the old man.The kid then tells the old man Now go home and tell your mommy you just found out what a can of whoop --- is. The kid goes home and tells his mom he had some old guy trying to act all 1965 on him and his mom said what did you do, I told him this 2019 not 1965 and I showed him what a can of whoop --- looks like lol

[Barbecueboy]

I promise you, there isn't an 8 year old kid in America that can whip my ass........I'm pretty confident about that.

And if there is Grown kid on the floor at Walmart kicking and screaming over a toy he didn't get, I'm probably going to chamber a round , step to the side and wait for the authorities to come.

You missed the whole metaphor......the people doing the ass whipping are the kids parents aka the American voters....the kid kicking and screaming the dem party.

And 1965 tactics or not, there is always time for a deserved a SS whipping.

You've never been punched in the face have you? Everyone has a plan or a comment until they are.......talking about and making up stories about it isn't really the same.

And before you ask....yes, I have been ...multiple times.

You know that’s how the LIBTARDS roll .................if they don’t get their way it’s always violence and destroy other peoples stuff .................. oh and move back and give them room to riot ! Remember Baltimore ? You know they got nothin’ when they resort to their violent tactics ! But they are the most diverse and accepting people !
