I think in the world of economics the inverse is true, as well. Business cycles are a fact of life. Things ultimately will turn around. The U.S. economy remains fundamentally sound. If you look back at the economic downturns of the 1980s and the 1990s, you see trucking leading the overall U.S. economy out of the bad times.
Inflation is low.
We see the necessary adjustments in inventories underway. Trains cannot deliver to your grocery stores. Planes cannot drop off supplies to major companies. Barges can't get medicine to the hospital. Without a doubt, trucks will continue to drive the progress of this nation.
