Wrap Me Up I'm Scared !!

For all of those that choose to wrap themselves up in the American Flag, due to the horrible economic conditions, it is too late !!!!

Only the services you provide to the customer and your company will allow you to survive in this business, no matter what you hear from mgt. or EOL

All of sudden, the predictions of ATeam and myself have proven accurate.

The cost of American labor can no longer compete with the 3rd World companies provide.

I am the messenger.

Not the solution.

Is this post because the Fed just got rid of 900 employees today?
Not sure what you are saying?

I have no connections to the "Fed".

I am saying that if you are dependent hauling on the Big 3, you are in for hard times, no matter who you haul for.

My only loyalties are to myself (1st) and UPS (2ndly).

BTW, I am appreciative of the sound advice you post here regulary, Dave.

I agree on the "Big Three"
If one is completely reliant on them for freight, they were in trouble many months ago.
"Never put all your eggs in one basket"
One of the first lessons in financial security.

Like DaveKC, I'm not clear on what you are saying either. I only respond here because you reference predictions I made. Not quite sure what you mean.

Your words, "Only the services you provide to the customer and your company will allow you to survive in this business, no matter what you hear from mgt. or EOL" are generally true, but in these times, they are only true if your customer and company survive.
