    So I have three main customers in the steel industry, the one we pull the most for is a processor. Has anyone see else noticed a slow down in freight for the month of March? Went to Delta yesterday and for the end of the month there was just one truck in front of me, usually it's a mad house out of Northstar.

    I have seen a bit of a slow down too. I do two runs a month for a small steel company, they used to have another driver that did a third, but they haven't used him since a little before Thanksgiving.

    This month is the most I've sat or had to deadhead to get close to a load.

    No slow down here went from steady to rapidly picking up.
