    Nice. Just finished at 54 myself. Delivered probably 50 or so and picked up maybe 20. I’m in a straight truck though.

    ABF seems pretty busy. No one has sat at home for more than a few call blocks (every 3 hours in Atlanta) and that usually because were out of equipment or if it’s raining and they can’t get sets hooked. I assume city is doing well. If they were slow we’d be slow too. Cheers

    Everything is about to change relating to the cascading effects of the current economic and virus crisis. Many businesses will be shutting down. This is going to hurt.

    @McUzi you should be in real good shape hauling medical gases around. I think you got out of LTL at the exact perfect time. Be safe out there.

    I'm pulling flammable and industrial gasses at my location. Local district management held a "meeting" about this topic today with local branches. Company plans to cut spending on non essential things as the economy tightens, but overall, hours will be guaranteed regardless to drivers especially, mainly due to the specialized nature of the product and service we provide. They flat out admitted they can't afford to have to replace an entire regions driving staff, and that they are well heeled and positioned to financially weather the storm.

    He's no longer doing LTL, McUzi is hauling liquid gases in tankers.

    Gotcha. For some reason I thought you might be hauling oxygen or liquid nitrogen.

    I think today’s 17 deliveries and 8 pickups plus interline freight speak for itself. :cool:

    Which LTL do you work at? Seem to have missed it somewhere in these forums.
