Truck Load Rates Halt 8 Week Slide 2.0

Glad I took the week off to do my taxes. I'd be stuck trying to get home. All roads leading into and out of California in the north are either closed or really messed up right now. Here is the Love's in Weed CA yesterday. I-5 is still closed.

 

Last week was 2.75 all so a .34 drop.

Half a foot in the poor house.

I do feel kinda bad for new entrants and this covid stuff though. We’ve had a ton of trouble with getting titles processed and things if that nature. I can’t imagine being new and trying to navigate this crap through mail with no in person. Makes me wonder how many go broke or pull the plug before even hitting the road.

 

New entrant here.

So far everything has been a smooth process. Only hiccup was having to reschedule my appointment with the DMV to do the VIN inspection for title transfer on the truck. All the stuff that hasn't required any face to face interaction was straightforward and processed quickly.

 

Nc only has two locations where a new entrant can register. Both are open to in person visits, but the check in process is slow and confusing for first timers.
I renewed yesterday and it took over 30min to check in with only four people ahead of me.

 

Our trucks haven't moved all week. Got 2 loads to pick tomorrow. Going to get chains for the 93 so we can creep down our mountain Lol. You can see we have em on the 99 already. The joys of living a mile up a dirt road

 

Bout 1000ft elevation change down to the hard road. My house is left screen center.





That sharp hairpin corner is about 15% grade with a steep cliff Lol

The road is a sheet of ice
