And lastly, on the wage front for transportation workers, I saw a story this morning that privately held Lawrence Freight, a truckload carrier, is hiking wages by as much as 40% for company drivers and including an extra 2.5 cent per mile, up to $3,000 annually, in the form of quarterly safety bonuses. The end result will be salaries of up to $88,000 with certain drivers getting up to $92,000 per year.
(Take this job and your $300,00 ahead !)
