Good morning....:)

I predicted a slow February...March won't be much better, only for that lucky few, right place, right time.....The last 2 weeks of March should see an uptick as it is the end of a quarter and end of month AND the end of some companies fiscal tax year...they'll be trying to get back orders out the door to show on 2012's books....

Most everyone predicts a slow Jan and Feb every year. No one predicted this slow. It normally picks up in march.

If everyone knows it?....
Even the new CEO of Panther predicted a busier 2nd half of March...What a brainiac he is...:rolleyes:

I don't know....some people have made out fine....remember we don't work cheap normally, so we will sit longer, we made that choice...

So, what you're saying is, I should cancel the first half of March due to lack of interest? :rolleyes:

Some people will make out fine at the slowest times. That really has nothing to do with the fact it has been extremely slow. What is bad for the industry is bad for all of us regardless what flavor of icing one tries to coat it with.

I don't think we will ever see the volumes we did even as 5 years ago....the tax thing was probably a factor to some degree....the onslaught of the pesky Penske fellows a little bit...and we don't work as cheap as some carriers...throw that all together.

That was a funny movie, might have to watch that one today...

Or Greased Lighting with Richard Pryor in it, a true story of the first black nascar driver, Wendell Scott.

Who is comparing anything to five years ago? Those are stories that grandpa tells the grandkids about the good old days.

In my opinion, get rid of Obama. Impeach the guy. And let this country get back on track, and get someone in the house that cares more about our country than others. Take care of ourselves before handing out billions to others. stop sending jobs overseas, and let us manufacture what we consume as a country in our own country. Unemployment will drop to an all-time low. Obama is like this black cloud over the country, preventing it from future growth and recovery.Get rid of him, and I bet instantly we will see positive results. Just sayin'
