I think we will see increased freight. I also think the economy will be on the fast track. The glass is definitely half-full!!!
I like what your hearing...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.
when people have more money then tend to spend more. Give them more they spend more.I think we will see increased freight. I also think the economy will be on the fast track. The glass is definitely half-full!!!
That doesn’t fit into the Jacobs hates us agenda.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.
Not a chance! I hope I'm wrong though.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.

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.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..

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).I don't know about you but I have more in my paycheck since the tax cuts went into effect
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!!
