We've hit the yearly Summer slowdown.

[GAnthony]

Looks like the auto plants are beginning to shutdown for changeover and construction is doing it's normal slowdown. It's definitely more noticeable this year than last year, so expect things to be a bit unstable for the next 4-6 weeks.

I'm sure many, especially those who only have 2018 as a gauge, to panic about recessions, depressions, and any other ession you can imagine.

I am also sure that brokers will do all they can to push the "ession" agenda to anybody that will listen in order to maximize their profits during the yearly Summer slowdown.

And finally, I am sure many more bank foreclosures will take place on trucks/trailers, and a few more small carriers that jumped into the deep in with expansion based on 2018 will fold up shop.

Ignore chicken little, the sky has not fallen.

my company has one account up here, they serve the building/electrical trades. we do not have any real slow down times, with the exception of about the 2 weeks during Christmas and new years week. most things are "inside" jobs, so the tradespeople are in from the bad weather during the winter, or are either kept cool by fans or a/c's.

there are even regular truckloads going into the d/c center i work out of. flatbeds and vans.
