I'll say this though, this is normally the slowest time of the year and it does not seem dead to me.
The good words out of Freight are - my line-haul run for 2010 is gravy. -
Hey Jakebrake, how are things going at the new terminal? Everything still looking good for you guys tonnage wise? I hear there is a lot of leased tractors and trailers at some barns, that has to be a good sign.

After 20 yrs. OTR and 15 yrs. union local I'm going tomorrow for my 2nd interview w/the terminal mgr? and hope to be offered a slot. Personnel supervisor seems like a straight shooter when telling me first 12-15 months can be brutal (dock,P&D, linehaul,saturdays )but I'm familiar with which direction the crap flows when your the FNG. Told me they are looking to put on 3 immed. and 5 in March so maybe the freight situation is looking up for the near future. Seems like fair start pay(18+) but a long progression to scale(5yr.) All good things end and so did my 55+K 40 hr/ wk job and we look forward to working our way toward retirement again with Con-Way.
Drive smart everyone.

If you get the job and have any questions I'd be glad to help. -
We've always leased extra long boxes but I've never seen this many especially this time of year - never seen so many rented trucks at any time. Some random stuff - we'll have fully electronic automated docks at every location by August, all pups are being fit with E-Track to maximize capacity, they changed the bonus plan and we'll actually get it now, and the new Freightliners are nice. -
Was offered a slot. Road,Pee,Paperwork tests on tues. w/ a start date of 3/8/10.Woot,Woot.

I saw a freight guy towing a CFI 53' down I80 westbound this morning out of Shelby... but I didn't see any freight longboxes in the yard when we delivered either so I guess some might be doing so.
