Commentary on " Positive Outlook for Trucking"
I think the recovery is taking root. No economy is perfect even in the greatest of boom times BUT steady signs of improvement are showing. As far as how this improvement is affecting truckers and carhaulers, the simple fact is goods have be shipped. Even after considerable damage was done to the economy in 2008 and 2009, life has gone on and food and services have to be delivered.
This alone is a stepping stone to a greater recovery.While there are challenges like high fuel costs, regulation fears , and driver shortages, they are surmountable challenges.The part of the economy that has survived the recession is growing again.
