Trucker Rates may Start to Increase

Current overcapacity and aggressive pricing for both truck and inter model freight may start to witness firmer pricing. Diesel fuel continues to advance ( an important cost for truckers) and many truckers are shuttering operations. Experts forecast rate increases in early 2010 and gradually continuing throughout year. The paper industry, such as Coy Paper Company, ships the majority of its products by truck; accordingly, this is an important cost to watch.
