“Heavy-duty truck orders plunged nearly 37% in December from the same month last year, according to data compiled by industry research firm FTR. Some carriers say they are waiting to see how much consumers spend over the holidays before committing to new vehicles, which can cost more than $150,000 each.”

*Clouds are starting to form. The most recent recession ended in June 2009. This expansion could continue for a few more years before a recession arrives. This isn’t the first negative indicator and it will not be the last.
