Truck Order Predictions Pretty Well Laid Out Through 2010

November 19, 2009

Analysis by:Jay Thompson, President and General Manager,

Truck orders indicate pre-2010 surge | www.etrucker.com

In the midst of the optimism with the recent surge in truck orders, reality is setting back in that 2010 truck orders will be slow due to the mew emissions rules - again!

Integrated Fuel Technologies Non-Urea SCR Option Hits A Speed-Bump

Transports Telling Different Story Than 3.6% GDP Blip!

November 2, 2009

Analysis by:Jay Thompson, President and General Manager,

Why the Lagging Transports Are Worrying | www.minyanville.com

Some stock technicians who compare numbers from the past to today are throwing more red flags regarding the recent quarters’ very positive numbers because the transports are not showing it.
