what happened to freight?

Small mom and pop carriers that can't or don't plan for the slow times might be going under. But well run companies will still be here for when things pick back up.

 

This made for an excellent read

 

Since beginning of April Ive pulled one load un 2.50 a mile TTT.......

 

excuse my brain, what is "TTT"?

 

To the Truck?

 

You are right ,and they are worst and worst,I'm ashamed to offer to my drivers low rates.

 

North East work well,today I book a load for Monday pick up from WV to NJ Allentown area hi has 489 miles for 2000$.So stay in that area OH,IN,VA,NJ,PA.MD.

 

Looks like a picked the wrong year to give up drinkin. ha

 

Then don't, explain to them honestly the situation. Tell them to wait and you will get them a better paying load, they must be patient during the downtimes. It is easy to make money when everything is banging, much harder when it is not. You must become more picky on your customer base and rates to help defray the cost of not moving.

 

Good job Andy, and when that area starts to get over saturated, then it is time to move to another.
