The U.S. manufacturing sector went into a recession in Q2 2019, something you are not hearing a lot about in the U.S. mainstream media, but is being talked about overseas. Let’s be real about this folks. Even freight shipping insiders are perplexed by the slowdown in the U.S. economy when consumer spending is still so […]
The Cass Freight Index is having its weakest year since 2008 and the Great Recession. This is an abnormal decline in shipment activity to say the least!
