Yeah. I imagine decks will dead all winter with a brief uptick in the spring. Then it'll likely be busy only the easy week of each month.

It used to be that decks were left to the small guys but this past summer I noticed Robert Transport, SGT & Cooney started flatbed divisions. They will probably hang on and wait this out so I suppose they'll still able to provide decks in the spring. Too bad.

If I'm lucky, the DOT will crack down hard on the new speed limiter legislation will keep enough US trucks away to keep rates up. I'm sure that was the whole reason behind the law anyway.

Well, to be honest, I am also a practicing accountant and have even been paid for giving "suggestions". At this time though, I was only agreeing with a poster about how hard it will be to pay for things this winter.

Thanks for your vote rank! :thumbsup:

If you are going to call me a liar again atleast get it right. $5800 a week isn't 30K a month. Let's be conservative and say over 20K a month when you call me a liar and stupid again.

Thanks
