I was talking to a CEO of a major trucking company the other day...he says his bulk shipments fell off the table a month to two months ago. They haul everything but he noted large appliances are way, way down as are building materials because of the housing situation and he doesn't think the retailers are expecting much of a Christmas. The consumer may actually pull back this time, what with $3.50 gas, no home equity, et al.
