Been told for the past few weeks that loads are getting hard to get? Let me say this another way ..loads that pay are getting hard to get? I depend on my dispatch on getting my loads and to be honest she fights hard getting good paying loads but lately I've had to wait many hours to get loaded!! Though I would check thing's out to see if thing's slowed down out there? I do alot of short runs which seems to work out pretty good. For the most part my runs are under 300 miles..

Dont know who told you loads are hard to get the past few weeks, but its been going pretty heavy here in Ohio as I have seen. Freight going into Carolinas from Ohio running at 2.75 p/m. Then from the Carolinas back to Ohio been paying as much as 3.10 p/m. Someone isnt really looking for the freight is what it sounds like to me. Good Luck driver

All depends on the equipment you are hauling,

Couldnt find anything worth a decent rate out of ATL yesterday and today, offering not much more than a buck a mile,

mich is a hard one to get out of. that main reason our o/o dont run up there unless positive load out in advance. akron and canton is main area ours run in and out of.

Ha, I haven't seen any of those rates on the boards..

Landstars loadboard. Also getting from The Hub Group. Like I said, Akron and Canton area running very well. Another good area for our trucks have been in and out of the Missouri area. Have gotten a few good paying ones out of there back this way. Told by our company those were 2.50 p/m to 2.75 p/m.
