my understanding is that their is actually an increase of the amount of freight because of China exports. Besides that, DOT changed how many hours drivers could drive in a day so that caused some freight to move lower. In addition drug testing got stricter which disqualified alot of people. I read some where about many early retiree couples becoming pair long haul drivers. its actually very lucrative.
