The Hurricane of The Trucking Industry

This year has been getting worse and worse for carriers, and independent owner operators.

Earlier this year in the first quarter the demand for trucks was higher than your usual type of first quarter and freight paid pretty well.

Everyone in this industry was beefing up their trucks and fleets excited for the produce season to kick in.

Produce season came and went very quickly in GA and FL areas. Laredo, TX and surrounding areas didn't have much better turn out either. California had almost no produce season at all.

July came, and July was your typically July. Best time to vacation. Expectation rose mostly for the start of the September, until the end of the year. Surely trucks will be in demand. So many holidays around the corner one after another, especially with school kicking in, and of course Christmas.
