Tacoma Washington. Decided to take a week solo before getting my next student. Averaging 6600 miles a week for a couple weeks was awesome, but burned me out a little. Now I should hit 3200 this week solo, and I'll pick up a student somewhere here in the northwest next Friday. It's so peaceful to be able to sleep through 8 hours straight for once, lol.

Your solo week averaged nearly the team rate.
But I understand.
It takes more out of you driving the same miles as a team/mentor, than it does as a solo.
It's hard having that second person aboard, especially when you are in a teaching role.
Mentors need better pay for what they do.A21CAV Thanks this. -
Rates and freight are down for everyone. -

Here in Fernley, NV. I was never so happy to leave a terminal and a state than I was this afternoon. Never ever see CA again. Guess that after 1900 miles last week, and that was a short week, getting a nice 2000 this week, and this is a full week. Thank you Lathrop

If the economy is again in a slump it would account for the drop in freight. Both in one.
And your opening line should have been the word counts, not accounts.
Again, nitpicking.
Unless I'm wrong, of course. I get caught being wrong on occasion.
From time to time, now and then.
I hate when that happens. -
I was talking to my aunt and uncle who own multiple trucks running flat bed and dry van. And they said it's ridiculously slow all around for them as well. Kinda makes me wonder if it's industry wide.
-
It is industry wide. I've talked with two old timers recently (25 & 30+ years), and both said had never seen freight so spotty. Now, at what was mentioned about over hiring, this was confirmed in a conversation I had with my DM. This year over last year, more drivers and maybe a record number at that.
