XPO | New tax plan

Freight is up, no doubt. Rumors I keep hearing are 7% raise in April. Would be close to $2 an hour. $26.61 x 7% = 1.88 Which would, for the moment, put us close to in line with the competition.

Where did you hear this? Other drivers or management?
 
when people have more money then tend to spend more. Give them more they spend more.
Wait did I say that? That's what trickle down economics is..
Goldman Sachs just did a survey and it seems other than some "see what will do " for show bonuses there's not much going to the working man.

The withholding percentages on the federal side are different now for everyone, so we all have higher checks. I think what he was referring to was an increase in wages or bonuses. A reduction in taxes is not the same as an increase in wages (despite the increase in take-home pay).
 
This middle east situation playing out is something to watch. Even though the U.S
Is not depending on Saudis for Oil now, the rest of the world is. Sanctions being placed on Iranians again will cut supplies for the world market. This could have a large effect on fuel prices. This would effect all of us.
I am not trying to be Political at all about this, Just making a observation . I hope that this situation blow's over for our sake!!

Add that the USA is losing the trade war for goods and services. And how devastating the Fukishima situation has been for the fisheries in the Pacific. A lot of moving parts to this global nightmare. Nobody wants to lose. Can't anybody seem to finda way to win.
