    Just an constant up and down cycle with the down cycles getting longer and longer.
    Yes things are good for a few people including in trucking,it always is but for most,the industry is suffering,one of the worst if not the worst.

Vehicles manufactured in North America and Japan are processed at the company’s facilities in Jacksonville, Florida, and Commerce, Georgia.
