The Weekly Doom-And-Gloom Update

Let’s check in on the professional freight pessimists.

According to Facebook:

• Freight is dead.
• Trucking is dead.
• Brokers are dead.
• Spot market is dead.
• The economy is dead.
• Everybody should panic.

Meanwhile, in the real world:

• Mobile, AL → New York paid $5,500
• East Point, GA → Denver paid $5,500
• Lacombe, LA → Delaware paid $5,100
• El Paso, TX → Jacksonville, FL paid $5,100
• Tulsa, OK → South Florida paid $5,000

Strange behavior for a dead market.

At this point, the freight recession resembles one of those movie villains that gets killed in every sequel and somehow keeps coming back.
