That means my job is still pretty secure then.

I drive an 18 wheeler and generally haul containers from BNSF throughout the metroplex. So guess this means I still have a job also, yay.
It is good news though. There was some times earlier this year I would haul 2-3 containers a day max, now I'm pulling around 5-7 which makes the pay checks much much nicer.
