Absolutely correct, the capacity in the LTL market is in balance for once. Shippers now have to pay market price to move goods.Some of these shippers that have benefited by discounted rates may have to dig down deeper in their pockets unless another cut rate carrier can be found. Every freightline the company has bought over the years was giving discounts for cash flow the day they closed the doors. About the only discounts the company has given over the years was for back haul to pay expenses. Moving empty trailers pays nothing which means you are in fact losing money evry mile you pull one.
IF this event with Jack Cooper reinventing Yellow (it will not happen) does come off the only way to attract shippers is through price.
That will kill off more carriers.........
