You are probably right to a point. My point is with the cost of fuel rising and rising, a lot of shippers may ask, is it worth the cost. With less disposable income, people buy less, less flowers, more local products, etc. I am fortunate to remember the bad old days of the Carter administration when all this happened. I personally see deja vu here. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to see anyone on the streets but given the mindset of a lot of the outfits running cargo, and the state of the world economies, not to mention the price of fuel, a lot of carriers are on the back side of the power curve already and would shut the doors at the same time they say they are hiring. History, I am afraid is on my side on this one.
