WTI December 2017 Newsletter
A Message from Rendy Taylor
I hope each of you enjoyed your Thanksgiving feast with the ones you love. It’s hard to believe 2017 is nearly in the history books, this year has flown by.
In spite of all the turmoil and unrest in so many regions of the world, it is important that we Americans stay focused on, and take control in, all the unlimited opportunities we are so fortunate to have. There aren’t many places in the world where the entrepreneurial spirit is encouraged and enjoyed like it is here in the USA. We really are in control of our own destinies, if we are willing to work hard and provide value in the marketplace, Success can be achieved.
According to KSM Transport Advisors, “The calendar year may be winding down, but the market for trucking is continuing to ramp up. The good news for carriers is that all economic indicators show the freight market is only going to continue to improve. Within the third quarter alone, strong trucking performance drove up rates, setting the stage for rate hikes for the rest of 2017. Rate increases are expected to continue in 2018.” This is good news and very encouraging for us for the upcoming year.
I want to Thank Everyone at WTI for all of your hard work and dedication that each of you exhibit every day. I especially want to say Thank You to our Drivers and their Families for all of their hard work and for the scarifies that each of you make for the Success of WTI. We know without you and your families we would not be WTI.
The holidays are important to us, to our families, and to our friends. It’s a time that we get to spend enjoying being with each other and celebrating. I want to wish each of you a Merry Christmas and a prosperous Happy New Year.
Let’s make 2018 the Best Year Ever here at WTI.
