    Not for me... yet, but everyone was buying trucks the past 6-9 months, so it was bound to catch up to us sometime, give it another 10 months, at least half of em will be back outta buisness

    Rates are still above normal, lanes I run are still holding and still negotiating for better rates. I generally stay in mid west

    Rates go down every day, but they also go up. It's all relative and it's all about location and timing. If you didn't expect them to 'trend' down from the mighty high spot they've been in for awhile then you weren't listening.

    Texas is slow, if I remember your from there? We had some trouble getting out last week.

    Everywhere else seems fine and we did good getting in so it was fine. Just not quite as much gravy on top as had been.

    They've been up for so long it's expected to drop off. For the near future i don't expect a huge drop off. I still think when they level off will still be higher than what pre covid rates were
