time is money

Who do you pull for and what do you pull??

 

It is slow all over right now compared to this time of the year in years gone by.

 

ive been home for 2 weeks i might be leaving friday.

 

so you are saying it is a great time for a newb like myself to get into the business? LOL!

 

Who is your daddy and what does he do?

 

Thanks for making me laugh like a mad-man.

Freight might be slow in some areas, and some kinds of freight might also be slow. But as long as we have cardboard accounts, I'll always be hauling that stuff.

 

You posted this message 3 days ago and you have no responce to what others have said? Why is that?

Frieght might be slow but it depends on what you haul. I pull tankers and have not experienced a slowdown at all.

 

On the cheap freight boards, out of Detroit, there are normally 500-700 loads for flat beds. For the past 2 months there has been roughly 30-40 loads?

Chicago, 1000+ loads, now running around 100 loads.

All of my numbers are using 100 mile search radius.

Do the math. Surprised it hit you this late. You are lucky.

Here is Internet Truckstop as of a minute ago for flat beds, 100 mile radius.
