FedEx is first to raise overall rates with a planned international and domestic rate increase of $5.9 percent on Jan. 4. That  is offset by a 2 percent cut in its fuel surcharge, plus any further discounts that shippers rate.

Will the recovery be V-shaped or U-shaped?Since heavy truck sales lag all other economic indicators, North American truck sales will continue to fall this year and next year. Unemployment is the lagging economic indicator to watch. It will grow into the low double digits in the U.S. this year and remain high next year.
