Does the Slowdown in Trucking Mean a Retail Slowdown Is Around the Bend?

Something I haven't seen written -- a large portion of trucking decline must be related to the housing slowdown as well. How much is housing? How much is retail?

I went looking for the data but was unable to sift it from the sources I found...

Certainly a trucking slowdown isn't good sign, but how much of the bad news is already out there?
