Yeah, it feels like it is still tough coming out of the ports, but most other regions are really loosening up.
Haha yes, nothing like a little unintentional hilarity in the midst of dealing with an upset human.
Thank you! I typed it out and looked at it and thought "that doesn't look right, but the spell check is indicating that it is spelled right"....
Agreed, but with 2020 being such a weird year for the industry it is hard to make predictions with any degree of certainty.
Happy New Year to everyone on these forums! I had a quick question, does it feel like there are less loads available (or maybe more trucks...
Yeah, one of the things I like about this forum is that it helps me learn more about the trucking industry from the point of view of the truck...
Nice, I've heard of McLeod but never actually used it. And yeah, I take all the "integrated pricing tools", including what we have with DAT,...
We use Mercury Gate International. I like the DAT/TMS data integration, but sometimes it throws loads on there that aren't really comparing...
I think any down trend in rates will be short lived, I think there will be a surge in Load to Truck ratio for Christmas. It will probably cool...

Our team had issues with DAT this morning, and judging from the number of callers in the queue (80+) when I called, plenty of other people had...
I can't imagine your employers thinking to themselves, "Ole Metalicious just sued one of our customers, we definitely should keep him around!",...
This is great advice, thanks for sharing. If every driver did this it would save everyone a lot of time. I think it's easy to forget that all...
