With the bottom falling out of dry/intermodal freight, 670 large , medium and small freight companies bit the dust in 2019. And it is expected run well into 2020 to at least October 2020. it was taking a year on delivery of new tractors now
it's dropped to two months, truck manufacturing fell almost 65%. There will be thousands of used tractors hitting the market, only problem is most are low rate fleet spec'ed equipment and needing most likely a ton of repairs, because those companies ran the crap out of them with no maintenance because they knew the end was near. And for the rest that are still operating same thing-running tires, brakes and what have you right down to nothing. Which doesn't make for safe highways. JMHO and Fact.
