    This week feels like good old days. Tons of freight is not getting covered and prices keep going up.
    It's very refreshing to get calls on your posted trucks again. If you are in Midwest with a van or reefer get it while it's hot!

    Yeah it has been a good week. Like I haven’t seen in 6 months or more. Wonder why. And I’m not van or reefer and not in the Midwest.

    Just a typical holiday freight push. Next week should be even better

    No, not with equipment. It generally doesn’t have a holiday push. Unless lots of people are getting excavators for Christmas

    Oh, I am not familiar with flats market. Maybe it's just everyone went back home for Thanksgiving and bunch of people did not come back to work yet?

    I'd take an excavator for Christmas.

    Then I'd promptly sell it.
