    Our trucks are moving if they want to be. It is tougher though. I think the carriers that care about keeping their drivers moving are keeping them moving, just at thinner margins. The companies that don't care are letting them sit.

    I spent 48 hours in Des Moines with more than 50 other empty trucks this week before getting bounced towards home to repower a load. Last week was real good, about 2500 miles. This week things were looking pretty bad at right around 1200 miles. Hard to say if things are getting better or not, but shingles are still going like crazy. I'm hoping everything picks up but who knows?
