LCL Renaissance

Another indication that the pendulum is swinging back is the apparent renaissance in LCL shipping.  Brian sends this in:
Other logistics professionals report increased use of alternative routing, if the shipper can afford the extra time it sometimes requires. "The biggest difference is Asia to the East Coast," says Stephen Dedola, chief operating officer of Dedola Global Logistics, an international freight forwarder headquartered in Los Alamitos, Calif. "It's an all-water route, but costs less than mini-landbridge," in which goods are delivered to a West Coast port and moved by train to their ultimate destination.
What is exciting is some of the FFs who started shipping for the Phoenicians are now orgainizing around this opportunity and necessity.  The opportunity is there is more new small business worldwide, there is less big business moving things.  It only takes a 1% drop in some big business trade to open up a 1000% increase vacuum for some small business.

This is all the result of deflation.  The bad news is your pension, paycheck and property is forfeit to forces no one can control.  The good news is making a living self-employed is opening up, if you want it.
