"...this slowdown was expected....."

Well, that's unexpected and likely unprecedented.

Just a reminder: When trucks don’t roll you don’t eat.

This is a really good indicator of the economy. Anyone at a factory door can tell how the local economy is doing by how full the peddle route truck is when it shows up at the door to pick up your shipment.

Here in Australia there's a difference ... more trucks on the road.

The Australian Road-Trains are the longest trucks in the world. They have 3 or more trailers and are 53 metres long, ( 174 feet ) hauling 115 metric tons (253,531 pounds).A super Road-Train has 7 trailers and hauls 190 metric tons.

It’s those diesel trains that can go 400 miles on a gallon of gas.

Prices of diesel played a big role when the Dems controlled the House in 2007 because they refused to lift the drilling ban. Not oil prices now, it’s fear about what the future will bring under an anti-business admin. IMHO
