Shes been pretty dead for me on the deck side. I'm afraid these 3 day work weeks will be the norm this winter. Its hard to pay for my new "dream step deck" at this rate! Might have to rent the house out and move my family into the Roll-Tite haha.
Thank God for the direct customers of where I'm leased to.....but they are slowing down too. Theres lumber out there to fill the gaps, but no freight to get me to the lumber. Like, NOTHING! Fingers crossed it gets better, usually capacity tightens up when a lot of the competition goes to the homeland for the winter...... doesn't seem to be the case yet.
Is work slow for you?

I think its criminal that they still use HHG, everyone and there dog is on practical or ELD GPS (Hub) miles. Also a cap on wait time, those 6 hours, some shippers will pay that to mess you up for 36+ hours. (IE Americold/USA Cold Storage).
Thankfully you still have work tho.Canadianhauler21 and magoo68 Thank this. -

haven't really found a higher rate in Winnipeg besides TransX, .47 Canada .50 USA with 3 increases in 5 years topping out at .50 Canada .53 USA -
IHaul is .48 Canada .50 US on practical miles, 0.01c/year topping out at .53 Can .55 US. Have 3 buddies working there now. Seems to be going good so far. The one guy is ex-Bison and hes MUCH happier. The other 2 guys worked LTL with me, at a place that is bankrupt now. I guess when they bought H&R, they flushed the toilet, and started fresh. -
Canadianhauler21 Thanks this.

forced dispatch is not true at all, although they like to play it off as not having any other loads after I declined something, only to have another load sent 20 minutes later. I always only run 2 dedicated runs out of Winnipeg, decline the rest.
ihaul doesn't have a terminal here in Winnipeg I think. they seem pretty good from what I've seen online. -
Canadianhauler21 Thanks this.
