You highlight one company... how about we look at the industry as a whole. Looking pretty good. What say you?

Growth​

The trucking sector is expected to see consistent and steady growth, with an estimated growth rate of 6% from 2020 to 2030. This growth rate is about average compared to the rest of the country, but does take into consideration the recovery after the COVID-19 pandemic, so this rate is likely better than trucking would have seen otherwise.

Conclusion​

2020 was a unique year in the history of the trucking industry. While creating a short-term crisis for the industry, the widespread economic and supply disruption has also created an unparalleled opportunity for growth going forward. The single greatest limiting factor the industry will face into 2023 is a driver shortage that has been exponentially worsened by a higher than average demand for shipping. Across the board, employers are increasing wages and offering greater incentives to their drivers and potential recruits in an effort to combat a worsening driver shortage.

The usual. You defend liars.
Im not defending anybody. I'm taking the opposite side of the argument, If you think I'm posting lies then make a counter argument showing what the lie was. Cause right now it looks like you're just repeating something you read online and are ill-equipped to defend it.
