Coronavirus triggered massive truck shortage east coast

So far love it .. Fuel mpg amazing..
Wouldn't go 2.47 again, I thought 2.64 rears were perfect....
The comprehensive shift strategy is the way to go.. gentle shift is a bit too lazy for me..

 

The load #s in our lanes don't agree with that chicken little statement that there isn't any Freight. BS.
The brokers and shippers are trying to drive the market into the toilet because they believe trucks run for free when fuel is cheap.... And you have too many poorly managed trucking companies that feel they have to take whatever they can get because their business model sucks so bad.

That is the biggest problems in the industry right now.

 

Fuel doesn't make it worse, idiot business owners , dirty brokerages and allowing customers to dictate what they're going to pay you... Long-term problems in the trucking industry.
try walking into Walmart putting your groceries on the counter and then telling the clerk what you plan on paying them See how that works. That's the problem right there. A big one.

No I follow certain lanes and the daily posted loads.. for example about 2 weeks ago Winchester Virginia was over 6X the normal volume of freight and everyone was crying there isn't any freight..chicken little syndrome is going around and it is perpetrated by the pathetic media industry in the United States. Fake News.

If there was such an oversupply of trucks we wouldn't be having brokers calling us trying to get their freight moved the whole thing is complete BS... Pushed to rape the Carriers as usual.

Brokers you know who you are ..you should be ashamed of yourself...in the midst of a pandemic and you are trying to drive the rates as hard into the toilet as you can putting people out of business that keep this country alive.
