Dear Readers:

2008 was the worst year that the trucking industry has experienced, since the Great Depression.

• Supply did not equal demand
• Freight became a scarce commodity in our industry;
• Freight rates continue to be depressed;
• Diesel fuel hit an all time record high of $145.00-$150.00 a barrel for crude oil.
• In some parts of the country, Diesel fuel was as much as $5.00 a gallon, and;

The economic collapse of the world economy, put the trucking industry in a “tail spin.”

What effect will this have on the trucking industry for 2009? Stay tuned for further comments…..
