Jan. and Feb. in our center has always been slow. Lots of drivers on layoff, somedays up to 8 full-time drivers off. That would be a Monday for sure!! Those months are very hard on the checkbook. Save, save, save is all we do to make it; just have to hang in there and wait for more retirements.
There will be layoffs for sure. The amount will be felt depending on volume and vacations. This will be worse than usual though. Economy is going to be worse next year than 2008.
