Man you ain't lying, I ran a load out there around the second week of this b.s. and it was a ghost town. Made Orange County/ LA look like it was busy.

I'm in NC we laid off all the trainees then 5 experienced drivers(voluntary)...they are all still out. We just started working 5 days again. this time last year I was 6 or 7 loads a night and now 4 is normal. Pre layoffs id come in and run 2 and be done. Slowly getting better but this has tanked my year.

No matter how lock downed the place is, people have to eat. Even the most frightened ones. -

It will take time to get back to normal. I haul in Florida for a smaller company. At the beginning of lockdown I was dropped from a 5 day work week, to a 4 day work week, to a 2 day work week, and then ultimately was laid off. The lay off only lasted a couple weeks and I was brought back on. We were struggling to pull 8 hour days but it was better than nothing. Now we are back to 5 days a week 12 hour shifts. It is still no where near to what it was before, but being in Florida we have beaches opening and I think Disney is back open ... so there is travel. I would give it at least a couple months before it is stable ... not sure how long until pre-lockdown sales.

Didn’t get to read through the whole thread but here in Michigan I pulled 130 hours my last two weeks and we’re getting extended. Looks like another 130 coming too.
ronjeremyjr Thanks this.
