I guess I was speaking more in terms of the OTR dry van industry.

It's all relative, though.

If the construction side is slow then that means they don't need the product brought in by an OTR driver.

Our company mainly hauls paper and paper pulp. I don't see any slowdown in these products whatsoever.

Well my truck hauls lumber on a flatbed and that's almost to a stand still. My other truck pulls a dryvan hauling bottled water and lately it's he's not working as much. So it doesn't matter what you're hauling.... It's Slow.

Ditto on that. Produce hasn't slowed down at all. Thankfully more people are spending their money on groceries instead of building stupid houses... :wink:
