    Right now it's kitty litter and chickens, if ya can find it.

    Florida produce should start to pick up in the coming months.

    Of course I'm talking reefer freight here.

    I take it you are Intrastate too. I haven't been watching the boards for a couple of weeks now. (Switched back to my dump trailer) There wasn't a whole lot of anything when I made the switch. It seems to run in cycles though. Maybe it'll come back quickly. I really prefer running down there instead of up around Atlanta.

    Produce is hot right now out of Ca. Which means more drivers are coming to east coast and then turnaround back to Ca. Frieght not necessarily slow, just more of influx of drivers picking loads. just my thoughts could b wrong
