After nearly four years of weak freight, trucking rates are finally starting to improve.
The big question is:
What should drivers and owner-operators do with the extra money if the market continues to recover?
Some say pay off debt.
Some say save for the next downturn.
Others say invest in a business, side hustle, or retirement plan.
A few will probably buy chrome and chicken lights. 😄
Seriously though...
If freight rates stay strong for a while:
- Would you save or spend?
- Would you buy another truck?
- Would you invest outside of trucking?
- What lesson did you learn from the last freight downturn?
One thing trucking has taught many of us is that good times don't last forever.
What advice would you give drivers who are finally seeing better freight rates again?
