Truck Load Rates Halt 8 Week Slide 2.0

There wasn’t a load on Uber for $7500 out of Tulare for tomorrow...

 

And it still isn't there. In fact there are quite a few loads in the $2-3 per mile rate that aren't there right now.

 

Next I hear...there is no more California. Rebelled and seceded or something.

 

On the serious note, since I've been wallowing in the low rate mire, I quickly noticed a slight uptick with Chicago Outbound. For instance, you can go to Richmond, VA for $1800 -2000, or Des Moines, IA - $700-$800. Also received a few calls from brokers, without even posting. Let's hope we are bouncing off the bottom. But...due to relief loans, which so many got...(myself included) the frost did not kill all Mosquitoes. As soon as there is a little bit of sun and heat, they will reemerge and the rates will reflect accordingly.

 

Maybe we need some industrial strength bug spray.

 

Let's hope for this to be the case but with all the news about farmers plowing their unharvested fields and decreased produce market demand in places like still shut down Chicago or NYC, it seemed like it was not much hope at first

 

Prior to ELOGS I would have done team run as a solo...miss those days of 1000 miles a day.

I miss my macho days...

 

Kennewick to Easton Maine as a solo in 4 days.

My body was never the same.
