Cedar Rapids Iowa area has several major longhaul trucking companies based in the area. Its close to the center of the country and right on 80, so I guess its a great spoke location.
The interesting thing I have been watching is the parking lots. For thew last 2 years, the trucking companies have had literary hundreds and hundreds of truck cabs just parked. It looked like a semi truck graveyard.
Last night driving to Iowa City, I went by two of the companies that have had these grave yards. Guess what I saw. Nearly empty parking lots.......
The trucks are moving. This is a huge leading economic indicator in my opinion.
