    Is anyone seeing an uptick in demand of any particular commodities in the heavy haul or OD world lately?

    Biggest trend I’ve seen is reduction in rates and people hauling them have no clue.

    100%. I have a friend that’s been hauling the big stuff for over 20 years. Multi axle, jeeps, boosters, that stuff. He’s been saying he’s never seen more clueless morons running 200k plus loads than now. And lowballing. Literally hauling these loads for the same rate as good reefer rates.

    Just that one ^
    Lot of no experience people getting in to it for “better” rates bc they have no idea what they’re doing.
