    Heartbreaking.

    I can’t stop crying about this redcap’s 23% loss in profits. Never mind that I’m not sure whether my Social Security disability will continue at all (it’s been delayed the last couple of months, to the point I can’t afford ramen right now) or that they’re building interment camps. Or that my doctors say Medicare won’t allow my prescriptions anymore unless I can travel the hour and a half to physically show up at their office, which I cannot do since I’m 100% homebound and Medicare has suddenly decided they’re not allowing remote visits anymore, so I’ll have to stop taking lifesaving meds I’ve been on for 20 years.

    But yes, this guy’s 23% profit loss will keep me up tonight.

    This is just like Chinese Cultural Revolution. That destroyed their economy and it took them a few decades to rebuild.

    It is easier to destroy but hard to build…I hope they learned their lesson.

    Zero fucking sympathy and this is just the beginning of the US collapse. There will be plenty of used trucks and trailers.

    Fuller runs Freightwaves. He’s all over the place prognosticating the shipping and logistics community.

    I could find no source for the OP post other than the linked popup “news” site.

    Fuller is more recently quoted as saying the “recession” (the market downturn due to trump’s idiotic knee-jerk tariff implementation) is over and expecting a market change.

    Dude’s an idiot, just another CEO analyst always trying to put a positive spin on any negative event to do with his industry.

      Freightwaves also does the majority of its business selling pay for play to T&L business owners to be talking heads on podcasts, interviews, the you tubes and similar.

      This is probably a play so that people don’t think they’re giving money to an org that’s killing their business

    It’s disheartening that no one in this comment section applied some critical reading skills and questioned this source.

      I live in SoCal and the truck traffic coming out of L.A. is substantially down. Before the felon’s tariffs truck traffic would be so dense it would take miles to get over to the right lane to exit the freeway. Now traffic’s way down to maybe 2/3 of what it was. The lack of container ships in West Coast ports has been well documented.

      No matter what you think of the source, the big drop in freight traffic is real. CEOs of trucking companies should be seriously alarmed. Maybe even some Magats are questioning their choice in the last election.

        The source is garbage. The news site is rated as being Mixed Factual reporting. They don’t identify who funds them, and they don’t detail their sources.

        They are left leaning and primarily lean in to discredit Trump. Trump does a good enough job discrediting himself without the need to fabricate or embelish stories to make him look bad. This “feel good” bullshit is the same sort of stuff that the right does to capture their viewers and feed them “alternative truth”. Be better. Check your sources, and check whether this is reliable information.

    I did not vote for a neutron bomb to wipe out supply chains and small businesses…

    Yes you did jackass. People like him are the reason I don’t have a job anymore.

    I’m not heartbroken. I’m perfectly OK to see this asshole living in a refrigerator box under an overpass.

    “FreightWaves is the most trusted provider of global supply chain market intelligence. Our high-frequency price, demand, and capacity data and analysis allow our customers to benchmark, analyze, monitor and forecast the global physical economy.”

    Ironic. Although I guess their data wouldn’t be very good at analyzing someone picking up the economy, turning it upside down and giving it a good shake.
