That is a shame. I expect to see more close as we enter the new year.

There was another article I saw afterwards and they said their cost was 1.50 and they were hauling for 1.42.

It is a little difficult to make it when you are hauling freight for less than it costs you to operate.

It's a shame alright. I've seen that way too much here in N.Michigan, too.

I haul blueberries out of Deblois, which is about an hour east of Bangor. I would always stay at Dysarts TS. Real good part of America up there. I wish these guys luck.
