If we were delivering in NYC on Friday and had no prospects for freight taking us out, Diane and I would probably drive to Bordentown, New Jersey with plans to spend the weekend at the Petro there. It is about 80 miles from NYC and a safe distance away from all the things that can go wrong in...

I beg to differ on the "White glove, green glove or whatever, they are struggling." part. While some are, all are not. Diane and I have seen freight slow and rates decline just like everyone else and the result is lower revenue. But struggling we are not. Freight has slowed, not stopped. We made...
