Based on the job market, it looks like a lot of the truckload carriers are still moving a lot of freight since companies are still recruiting drivers, but the LTL industry has definitely slowed down and the LTL jobs have become limited. The economy is stagnant (at best) and it's looking pretty grim for the rest of the year. I hope that the analysts are wrong.
Is freight slow in Canada?And there's a recession. Freight is down for everyone.
Inbound yes. Outbound, we can't keep up on certain shippers. Our dollar is worth 1.30 American, so huge saving to buy from Canada right now. Tractor related, case, JD, cat, all slowed dramatically. The big book distributors are buying like crazy.Is freight slow in Canada?

I've noticed that several of your posts are messed up, when you quote someone else's post.
Make sure that after you click on the blue "reply button", to NOT delete or mess up the quote and the /quote part of the original poster's quote. (and you have to leave the [ ] and [ ] where they belong.) Those have to be left in tact to keep their quote and your response separated.
