I really can't believe how bad it's gotten, I'm 39 so this is the worst economy I've seen in my lifetime. I remember the 80's crash but I wasn't old enough to have the responsibilities I have now, so it didn't seem as bad.

I'm a year younger, I never knew anything like this either. Real bad down here in Florida. I live in a townhouse and could go down the line of each unit and a lot of pain (except the people on the corner unit, she's a stripper and seems to be doing well. Nice expensive car and all
)
So many people out of work. I'm in the reefer business so people still have to eat but I've been trying to work ourselves into the foodservice business and if people aren't working they aren't going out to eat.
And these big carriers, they haul cheap all right. I get bid sheets and this stuff is something to look at. Here's a lane, from Lakeland, FL to Kirkwood, NY which is 1192 on the miles and they need you to be under $1484. That's a $1.24 to New York.
