Every week, usually on the same day, I travel on highway 40/287 and I-70 on the way to our ranch.
I started noting the truck traffic and eventually noticed that it seemed to be a leading economic indicator for the economy.
A few years back, I had a flat trailer tire and only one truck went by in the time it took me to change tires. I predicted a recession and it happened a few month later.
The traffic yesterday was fierce. Trucks almost bumper to bumper.
Looks like this would be a fairly easy way to figure which way the ecomony is headed. huh?
