With the US headed into a obvious reccession why is SAIA hiring people like we are going into the wanton economy of the past? The trucking companies that will survive are going to be very conservative. I just dont feel the upper management has a handle on what will be needed to stay stable in the near term marketplace.

Full disclosure I am an employee of rival ABFS.

Decent company, horrible fundamental business outlook with the US entering a full blown recession and oil likely to stay stubbornly high.

A recessions a coming this summer and high oil prices are not going away since the falling dollar is to blame, and continued inflation is not going to bring the value of the dollar up any time soon. Burnanke was not helping this country by bailing out the crust of American society. Also, Bush's stimulus package didn't help the upward inflationary pressure that is killing this countries middle class. Sorry about my rant but anyway my point is to sell trucking since rail is about to take over from the high price of fuel.

I'm calling this one down for the long haul. They are a stable company as far as the day-to-day efforts, but external factors are going to beat them senseless over time. On their left hand is the impending driver strike, which is going to impact every trucking business whether they use independents or not just out of solidarity and fear of getting shot. On their right hand is fuel instability. Fuel costs are not going back down, and the trucking industry is going to have to get creative. Unfortunately for even the ones that make it through, creative = expensive.
