ISI, the perennially top-rated economics advisory headed up by Ed Hyman and Nancy Lazar, is telling clients its own survey of trucking companies has fallen into “uncharted territory” to the lowest in a decade. They admit their survey doesn’t go back to the 1990 recession let alone the 1981-82 deep downturn. But ISI says the steep plunge in its trucking survey would correlate with a 7.2% plunge in fourth-quarter gross domestic product.
