@Gene5 that look about right?

Any others care to add thoughts? Who is gonna pick up the slack? Isn't there a big driver shortage anyway?

The problem isn't any one thing.  Part of it is hours of service, part of is logging, the other part is that ranks of truckers aren't being replenished because it's not a job alot of people want to do.  It's a confluence of several factors that's constraining capacity.

There's high demand for CDLs right now, and the supply is a bit low.  Demand is high because people want to shop from their couch and get things delivered at their doorstep.  Sure, shipping rates are rising, but so are costs.

Plus shitty drivers. Many are good, many are bad. I have almost been put out of business by drivers hiring on then not wanting to work. Not answering the phone, excuses about family members dying or in the hospital, etc. The list goes on.
