I assume getting A to B and all the variables that go with (and into) it comes with a Sam's Club-size jug of heart burn relief medicine.

I'd hate the be the little guy in need new trucks.


It's a horrible thing but a while back there was a group chat amongst some senior people at a logistics company I was with - Not Schneider - but we all realized that each and every one of us had a blood pressure monitor device on our desks or in our office. Independently given by our respective doctors.


Freight and logistics is a stressful and hectic industry in the best of times. It's about to get near the worst of times.

Little guys can't get trucks and worse, often don't have the reserves to get them at low interest. Now the freight will not be there at prices in the spot market to cover that nut. They'll go under. Most little guys enter the industry incredibly under capitalized and live hand to mouth as long as they can. Some make it, some don't. Going to be a ton that don't this go around.

Trucking industry jobs fell last month for the first time in 21 months....
