Freight Slowing down during the winter?

We never seem to slow down.

 

not my job. we do dedicated freight for some of the building trades.. on average, i'd say about 90% inside work for those trades people. we go like gang busters all year long.

 

Mavericks All You Ever Do Is Bring Me Down

 

Nope........Nov to April is our busiest time.

 

dairy hauling NEVER slows. we go 365.

 

Most companies do slow down significantly this time of year through the holidays and then as spring approaches begin to pick up again.

It does depend on the company and what they specifically haul to an extent too. Dedicated accounts and others that haul certain niche goods may remain steady while everyone else slows down.

 

uh....366 in leap year....

 

Get a tanker job , always moving .

 

Just looking at the mileage numbers...

These past two weeks have been my busiest weeks since late September. Haven’t had a day-off in almost four weeks. So, can’t say I’m seeing this “slow down” everyone is talking about.

 

Short answer, no.

Long answer, there are too many variables to be discussed. Your companies freight hasn’t slowed (your own words), it’s only slowed in your area.

Ask for a transfer if that’s possible.
