Stagnant transportation industry FTL.

I'm being laid off after thanksgiving. I own a business so I'm not in bad shape, but I feel bad for the other guys. My terminal is laying off a total of 10 employees. Company wide, 5% of our union and non-union employees are being laid off, which is strange, because tonnage/volume/revenue is up for the month of november. That, and the company hasn't posted a monthly loss since last year.
