Friday Good News Big Weekend Edition

James Pearson


It’s officially summer and we’re kicking off a long weekend –

that’s like the definition of happy news.


President Biden’s sweeping $6 trillion budget includes tons of money for transportation

and takes the US to spending levels not seen since WWII.


We’ll take it.


Also, from the Biden administration – our temporary trade truce with China

seems to be holding and that’s good news for everyone.


Trucking companies are getting creative about attracting younger drivers:

More scheduled home-time, paying for college and offering childcare help,

are just a few of the innovative approaches.


Capacity woes seem to be a BIG issue as smaller shippers seem to be kicking

butt with long-term carrier commitments and maximizing out-of-the-box thinking

to find the trucks they need.


Sometimes it pays to be small and wily.


Chips & dip – GM is restarting 4 north American plants that had been idled by

the global shortage of computer chips.


Once again, layoffs are falling, unemployment numbers are lower still, and the

economy is growing – so, let’s get happy.


One last happy thing –

most of the cancelled Memorial Day Parades are back on and we can salute

those heroic men & women who have served their country so bravely.




Jim Pearson is the President & Founder of JTR Logistics.
