Driver shortage turns to surplus

LETS SEE HERE!!!!

LANDSTAR HAS 2400 LOADS TODAY NATIONWIDE....

LANDSTAR HAS 9,800 TRUCKS......


WHO DO YOU THINK IS GOING TO GET THE LOADS TODAY?

YOU GOT IT RIGHT.YOU WIN AN ALL YOU CAN EAT LOT LIZZARD BUFFET COUPON.....


THE MEN AND WOMAN WHO WILL RUN THE CHEAPEST DOWN THE ROAD WINS TODAYS FREIGHT AND PRIZE....LMFAO..

500 HUNDRED MILE RADIUS OF ATLANTA GA. AND THE RATES ARE FROM 66 CENTS TO A WOPPING 1.40 ROLMFAO...

WAKE UP DRIVERS.THIS IS A CUT THROAT BUSINESS.....THE NAME OF THE GAME IS WHO WILL I GET TO DO IT CHEAPER....DRIVERS HAVE DROVE THE FREIGHT RATE TO 66 CENTS A MILE...IT TAKES 1.50 A MILE AT LEAST TO RUN A TRACTOR DOWN THE ROAD....THIS IS INSANE...

I BLAME DRIVERS FOR THIS...ITS THE DRIVERS FAULT....THEY CONTINUE TO RUN IT..SO THEREFORE THE RATE IS SHOT DOWN FURTHER.

 

great move,i commend you

 

So when do you all think the loads will come back. The experts say 2010. Sonner or later?

 

Hopefully sooner for all our sakes.

 

not in 2009...

People are dreaming....

do not buy a truck!!!!!!!!

You will go broke fast.

 

With the way things are now even people graduating college are having to get jobs at gas stations or other min wage jobs because thay cant get hired n e where. Feel bad, must be hard paying off student loans like that.

 

Its bad all over. We all just have to grit our teeth and get by. Maybe i should get into the REPO buis. I could make a killing right about now.

 

heck yeah, either be a repo man or be a collections agent because right now they have no shortage of work and customers

 

sadly and unfortunatly that is most likely the truth and we can only blame the government for doing it and ourselves for allowing it to happen most countries would erupt in protest about it but we sit back and allow it

 

Being a college graduate and the veteran of a couple of different industries, I'm finishing driving school and going to work as an OTR driver. I know that things are not ideal in the trucking industry just now, but I'm curious, what industries out there aren't cutthroat? Are the mom and pop stores happy about WalMart coming to their neighborhoods? Are the local clothing stores happy about the malls and Target coming to town? Are American car manufacturers happy that the Japanese auto makers set up shop in America? Do you think the local insurance agent is happy about the new company down the street that's selling the same coverage for less? Does your local gun/tackle shop get excited because Dicks, Bass Pro, Cabelas is coming to town? Every industry is cutthroat... that's just life! Get over it!
