I don't know. I only know to make hay while the sun shines.
The shippers are no different than those we have served before. The freight is no different than what we have hauled before. The difference is the shippers are shipping more and paying more.
September ends the third quarter of 2010. Our year-to-date numbers show us running at pre-recession rates and volumes, largely because the third quarter was very strong and brought the entire year up. I have no idea how long this will last or if it will last at all. Thus our commitment to make hay while the sun shines.
Our rates have been going up all year. They took a HUGE jump in Sept. Hope it holds for a bit.
