Yesterday, Mrs. abb & I drove from North Louisiana to Johnson City, TN, via I-20, I-59 & I-40. I cannot recall in my lifetime of travels seeing as many trucks on the road as I did yesterday. Even before daylight, many, many trucks.
We sent 65 off them from Louisville to Houston in the past week. And that’s just MY business group.
Not only did you see a record number of trucks, but 1) every truck had a “Drive With Us” sign on the back of the trailer, 2) the country is still SHORT 50,000 truck drivers (yes, 50,000),and 3) the Dow Transportation Index soared two days ago and is within spitting distance of the all-time high.
