I Can Not Figure This Current Market Out Loads vs Trucks

Yes.

Bad.

Maybe location truck/load ratio.

 

I don't think it's only the bulk market either. I run dry van and for instance, coming out of home time sometimes my company is begging me to come out early to get a load delivered and other times they send me a message saying they have no load to get me out of the house and I sit there. It used to be very consistent. Just give me a load the day before I would leave the house and I leave first thing in the morning.

 

Its industry wide. Im doing auto mfg expedite and had best week of year, then next week i have nothing in tri state area. Not even broker trash to move me.

 

Well the week before last was “road check” less capacity due to owner operators with raggedy equipment staying home. Last week Memorial Day weekend, again less available capacity, so therefore higher rates.

 

Spoken like a true steering wheel, holding orangutan

 

Just speaking the truth. Some of these guys just don’t get it. I’ve been in it 44 years

 

You won't be here long .

 

I agree, I've seen some of my company's insanely high rates drop off by a 1000.00 on one account and a another drop off by 109.00 on another but beyond that not much has changed.
I hear horror stories out of my spot market friends that make me worried but I'm still booked 1 to 3 loads out on the contract reefer side .
