    Is freight slow for alot of you now? I have some friends that say it is pretty slow right now, and they don't expect it to get better any time soon.

    Not for me. I sit longer getting loaded with a refer than I do waiting for loads.

    Flat bed is kicking. At times have to dead head for a load. But I run where the freight is.

    It keeps bouncing around it picked up for a little bit then it's kind of Fallen a little flat here lately at least on the van sector... just expected to be up and down I believe until at least the election happens typical election year economy

    I know a lot of guys that want dead head for a load. But I can't wait around hoping for a load that will never happen. So I have ran 300 miles. Just won't load cheap freight. Rather let it rust lol
