    Yea, It's steady but seems like loads in the steel business have slowed just a tad. Just seeing what everyone else had going on.

    Really?? We'll see about that. Im picking up a Load heading From Ohio to St.Cloud,mn.... Just a 'fair' Rate on it.

    If its that busy.............I shouldn't have any trouble finding a Steel or Crate Load from Minnesota to Chicago or East...Right??



    (Every single frickin time i go to Minnesota..All I hear is "Ya" and freight going to North Dakota,South Dakota and Colorado.). Not much Going East..Where I Need to go.

    Ok, Great....... What can you recommend for me?

    Not trying to step on your toes but, i could use some consistency going EAST outta the Cities or St Cloud....I can NEVER find it up there for a flatbed...Since like the early 90's.

    And the 'Few' Loads I do Find Going East The Borkers have those Rates Burchered worse than your local Meat market.

    I honestly don't have any good leads. All I do is my direct stuff and loads to ND during the summer if need be. If I think of something ill pm you.

    I haul scrap into the steel mills and we've been slow for the past three weeks.

    Well I've been running from us steel to various places in Minnesota then they have me deadhead back to us steel then repeat. I like the empty runs back and simple load, 6 straps one tarp in and out 30 minutes.

    BAM!, and back in the saddle! Hopefully it keeps coming, just a quick slow down and the freight is back!
