    Obviously with lower volume of freight and more available trucks, rates will drop. Rates are still decent with what I'm doing, so it's still time to stack cash.

    Here's a screenshot from just now that I've used to gauge the market. Wednesday two weeks ago the total available loads were 9600. Last summer everyday normally 33-36k loads.

    We talk about the boards being skewed from brokers posting the same load multiple times… however, that would make this look a bit better…

    I don’t really use this much I just look at what loads are at a certain destination. This isn’t the only places I saw with a horrible ratio.
    The good quality loads have dwindled for sure.

    This is from ITS today. How can this possibly be correct? The average "Heavy Haul" paid rate is less than the average Flatbed paid rate.... Or maybe this just shows how full of crap ITS is when it comes to rates/numbers???

    I took off for a month. I rather sit and wait. I have my standards.
