Drivers: This is serious stuff. Just 10 months ago, freight  economist, Noel Perry, predicted a freight recession. It’s hard to say-  but we are here. We are heading into one as we speak. There are  people out there saying “Brokers rig prices” because they don’t know the  numbers. Look at the numbers yourself and make your own determination and start preparing. It’s going to get scary and it will get scary quick.
