I am sorry to hear that Robert. I can assure you the lumber and housing business is picking up substaintially. We see starts exceeding 1 million next year and climbing back to 1.4 million over the next few years. I do not deal with many of the nationwide companies you mentioned other than Swift. Again that is only for flatbeds.

However, all of the flatbed carriers that we deal with have seen an increase in business over the last couple years. My company ships about 900 trucks a month throughout the United States and Canada. Our business is increasing.

Maybe you should consider getting into flatbed shipments.

Never.

The housing bubble is being reinflated with the involvement of Fannie / Freddie and them dumping nearly $80b per month in liquidity into MBS's. This is the same illusion that will not garner different results. I have involvement in HHG's as well, and the HHG fleet (corporate and COD relocations) is down to nothing right now. This is the real indicator of the housing market.
