Thanks. I can't say how domestic economic activity is affecting trucking activity, but the number of containers coming in from abroad is way down (shown in the following graphic), year-to-year. Seasonality (i.e. the Christmas bulge) still exists, but every single month is down, year-to-year. Sales tax collections, on a state-by-state basis, are down every single month this year vs last year, which is why every single state is having a major fiscal crisis.
