    Pfft, swift cut 2000 trucks, haha, they probably have that many trucks just sitting in the yards unused anyway. Gotta love the Schneider numbers, they have the oldest of all the fleets, and plan on going another year or two before buying new .

    As I sit looking all around,
    Confusion and uncertainty is all I found.
    The answers are there,
    But I do not know where.
    Optimistic and hopeful dreams,
    Are all I have so it seems.
    The future I do not know,
    So all I can do is take it slow.
    But I do know it will work out,
    So I wait and watch without a doubt    .

    Some of these large fleets bought pre-emissions trucks and probably will delay purchases as long as possible. Many have hiring freezes so they may simply not hire as many replacement drivers as others quit or leave so they won't need as many trucks. With cheap rates there is no hurry by any of them to expand their fleets.

    Hawk Jr. will be happy to hear that.
    Don't trust anybody. Especially that guy in the mirror.
