The stagnating economy (stagflation), along with historic fuel prices seems to have slowed a lot of freight markets to a crawl. I'm seeing a common theme cropping up, especially for owner-operators, but also with fleets like UPS, and others, truckers are struggling.

What the heck is going on right now? Are you experiencing a crunch, not just with gas prices, but finding loads, or other issues? How are you handling the looming crisis? Or do you think there is one? Is everything just Situation Normal?
Just curious how everyone is handling all the chaos right now. Peace.
P.S. Sorry my first post was doom and gloom.
