But partner. The article says they were building the jets too fast? Faster isn’t always better....a couple of guys at your terminal told me, now the dockmen want the forklifts turned up too. So they can load the freight faster to get the drivers on the road quicker to make up the time for the 62 mph trucks.

Hammer down !!!

It looks bad.
Our thoughts are definitely with you.

Did you have the proper paperwork and permits when you checked in at the ‘port of entry?’

Almost went broke in KS, buying memberships at the private ‘clubs.’

Adjusted for deregulated inflation dollars?

Mmm.
Good Q.
Of course I believe the above chart is before deregulation.
I just guess in today's dollar.
Doesn't matter. They say they lose money every year.
Just seeing that chart and knowing it provided good jobs and a future is depressing.
Seeing a chart in the present would be worse.
Nevermind
