How’s the LTL sector doing where you’re at?

Inbound and Outbound were both way down when I was there last on Friday. There is usually a shortage of tractors for the route guys, some of them waiting for us shuttle guys to end our night runs so they can use the tractor. On Friday, there were 20-30 tractors stacked up in a corner of the yard, not in their usual assigned numbered parking spaces. They clearly knew no one would be needing them for a while.

 

Managed to pickup 450lbs. today. Guess what it was? A generator.

It's drying up; Our usual outbound is 59-60 bills. Now it's 12. It's drying up. We are in serious trouble.

Hours lessening about 1-2hrs per day.

i will concede that you food mofos have another advantage over LTL: You will continue to work---albeit possibly less, but you will still be working.

Food 2 < LTL 22

 

I seen more ups freight teams this week then I ever have. So far I’m still going good but I hear guys saying leaving people home.

 

Going strong in the Great Lakes area. Automotive stuff backed off a little but that's only about 10% of what I do

 

Driver business leaders at Schneider sending out message: freight is booming, let us know if you can extend your run. No shortages here. Buddy at Averitt said 33 day cab drivers at home at one Depot with nothing to do a week or so ago.

 

This whole thing is getting really depressing
For all of us. No matter what you drive,or who
You work for.
We're all on the titanic in this one.

 

The only thing depressing me is how almost everyone has lost their mind and bought hook line and sinker this manufactured panic. Common sense has been thrown out the window.

 

I hear Batesville Casket Company is hiring...
