[QUOTE="pickup, post: 1402535"] You know what , you're right. Let me rephrase my statement. Economic activity is slightly better right now than it was in 2008. The hiring bonanza is indeed due to those three things you listed. I would add, the continued push to e commerce is adding to volume. Take a look at Best Buy. In store sales are down but its online store sales are way up. Macy's and Bed , Bath and Beyond are other examples of the traditional brick and mortar businesses increasingly selling their stuff online. Volume benefits from that. But if this crap economy got worse (and it can) volume can decrease and that would not bode well for any low seniority hub part timer trying to make a quick transition to full time driving. We've had hiring sprees in the past only to be followed by hiring freezes. Just like in musical chairs, the music doesn't go on forever, and somebody ends up without a seat. Just wanted to let the OP be aware of this. [/QUOTE]
