Rush Sees Income, Revenue Down in Fourth Quarter | www.truckinginfo.com

Rush Enterprises Inc. is the largest truck dealer organization in the US and a primary seller of Paccar, Inc, - Peterbilt trucks, Paccar parts and Paccar Financial Services (financing and leasing), along with a Navistar Dealership in Charlotte.

2010 Freight Levels Improving - But Truck Orders Have Headed Back South

February 7, 2010

FTR: Strengthening Freight May Lead to Higher Truck and Trailer Sales in 2011 | www.truckinginfo.com

Improving freight levels should help truckers, but not so much the truck manufacturers - unless you have a good parts and service network. Some call it a double dip slowdown or better yet - déjà vu all over again.

Winning (and Losing) LTL Strategies v. 3PL - Then Those Darn Customers

January 25, 2010

The New and Improved LTL Industry | www.worldtrademag.com

The Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) marketplace is a tough one - especially with the current excess capacity v. demand. I agree with our colleague Mr. Wilkerson regarding LTL opportunities regarding Information Technology (IT) / RFID, warehousing, freight forwarding and alliances. While some are moving that direction, others aren’t addressing the people basics - then there are the actions underway by customers.

2010 Trucking Outlook - Public And Private Fleet Contrarian Thoughts

January 18, 2010

Trucking Stocks In 2010 | stocks.investopedia.com

Some analysts are giving thumbs-up for truckers in 2010, due as much to another exit of capacity as an improvement in freight demand. We are more cautious and the reference article seems to get it right from our perspective. It is about freight demand versus truck capacity - and we don’t see a big change in either.

The Other “Real” Cost Of Pending Regulations - Real JOBS!

December 14, 2009

Smog rules will cost 1,000 truckers’ jobs at Oakland's port | sanfrancisco.bizjournals.com

In California, new regulations are costing jobs. Many of us in the industry try to assess the cost of new regulations to truck operators (my 12/1 article). Being shut out without any recourse - but still left with a truck - just doesn’t seem fair to independent businesses. Is this is a harbinger of things to come elsewhere? Many talk hyperbolae about jobs, but this is about reality.
