Just a quick post to wish all who visit here a very Merry Christmas and happy new year. This has been a very hard year for many folks both personally and professionally.
Lets hope we here in the United States have turned the corner and can look forward to a better 2010. I know many carriers are trying desperately for rate increases, but dont know how well those will stick. Shippers are hurting as much as carriers.
My old saying is "if you cant sell it, I cant ship it.". That applies now more than ever. 2010 is going to be an interesting year because carriers painfully need more money and are going to be pretty much "non negotiable" in both air and ocean freight. Both modes have removed capacity and it will not return without profitable margins.
I wish all of us a very Merry Christmas, happy New Year and above all...peace. This is just business. Love your family and take care of yourself.
Eric
