    I wouldn't count on it. Getting your CDL is a good move but I wouldn't depend on trucking being much different than it is right now.

    I am afraid you will have to turn the truck in. There is no freight moving right now and a lot of people are sitting. This is how my home area looks now on the spot market and our governor just said that most likely we will stay at home for another month

    Look at the times those loads have been posted, anything bigger than zero is not there, which means there are 0 available loads on ITS
