Things will get much worse in Detroit before they get better. The dependence on a single industry has really hurt the area. Couple that with a out of wack tax structure, a rather high cost of living and non-competitive wages and it is very difficult to attract new industries. The area needs...

That is really cool. You ae looking a the wave of the future. I read somewhere that our mirrors account for 10% of the drag we deal with. Paying attention to aerodynamics will give a huge boost to our mpg. I wonder which ideas or combination of ideas will make it to the production stage...

Yeah, wait they hit him up for the taxes!!! LOL! Not to worry Piper1, we are right behind you on the taxes. In fact, I bet we get hit for more than you guys up there soon!!! Layoutshooter

It is not right to be happy over others mis-fortune. It will not only be those who were just screw up. Many good O/O will drop for any number of reasons. Yes, some will do better and it will cause rates to increase. A little compassion is in order. Layoutshooter

There is also likey to be more, not less, "special needs" freight. High value etc. Our industry will change to meet those needs. Carriers that can't, or won't will fail. Those who go after that freight will will. It is that simple and that hard. Layoutshooter

Well if it is that bad, the world will soon end and none of us will have to make our next payment. Don't act like a polition, everything is NOT a crisis. I promise you, if EVERY carrier and truck goes bad SOMEONE will come up with a even better plan. Life goes on. Some will make it, some won't...

I remember when I bought my first house I paid 15 1/2% interest. I was told then that I would NEVER see rates lower than 8% in my life time. I did. They will go up again too. Nothing is static, all rates go up and then down and then up again. Nothing is forever. It may take a LONG time or might...

There is a lot of shoplifters in that bunch. They used to come into the Cablela's in Dundee when I worked that. Mostly from Ohio, which makes sense. We had to watch them like hawks. Those long coats and dresses make it very easy to shoplift. We used to joke at the state park I worked at in PA...

Just a couple of the MANY reasons I no longer live there. Layoutshooter
