Just looking at the rough numbers for trucking bill count (total shipments) is down 15.5% year over year and tonnage is down 16.2% year over year. That isn't surprising.
What is surprising is they are down nearly 22% vs. the volume moved in May. Historically June is a better month then May. So far since January we have seen a steady decline. That is a serious problem because usually Jan, Fed and March are the bad months.
I have never seen a calendar year where Janaury and February are the leading months.
I would link spread sheets for ya Dustie but apparently that is to challenging for me.
