    All those companies are super needy aren't they? That's why I say if you ask them, they will swear there is a shortage. Gotta move that customer freight

    I get cards from hunt, swift, Schneider.

    I just bought my house 5 months ago. I haven't put in an application over 4 years.

    I have not seen freight sitting on the docks because there aren't enough drivers to man the trucks needed to haul the stuff.

    I don't get cards or e-mails from anyone.

    Guess I'll just go eat worms.

    Haven't seen driver pay go up either. But in the meantime cost of living has gone up and keeps rising.
