Economy is not in good shape but load/truck ratio up over 100% vs one year ago. WTF is going on?

Where do you live? There are loads all over. Staying out for that long is extreme

 

A guy passed me yesterday in a beautiful brand new Audi Q5. I'd sure like to have one of those!

 

I'm single, everyone's situation is different, I can stay out very long b/c I have no obligations to anyone at the moment except my pockets and a phone bill lol

Ohio BTW

 

Well im not a owner op or book off a load board but i can say as a reefer company driver, its been a struggle getting miles some weeks, weeks that typically are easily 2500 mile weeks, and i got 1800......something is definitely off still....i dread the holiday season won't be booming like normal either.....unless magically we get a vaccine...lmao.....

 

From what I've read on this forum over the years, you just need to run short haul van out of southern Oregon or flatbed out of Connecticut short haul, and you'll need a pup trailer to put the money in.

 

I actually scored my first contract jobs this summer and what Im getting paid will carry me into spring time and beyond . I see the spot rates went crazy but even those numbers cant match the contract rates Im receving . Pulling Van out of TX and Im thankful , I have more than enough to pay truck off free and clear . Feeling blessed.

 

Could not resist ))

 

Lol that wall isn't gonna stop us from kicking wolverines a s s

 

Just a FWI, I got some van rates going from TN to Maine last week. We don’t run van and had a customer wanting some van loads moved. I checked everywhere, and the rates are running right at $5.00, charge to the customer.

 

That’s about right,there’s not a lot coming out of Maine that pays anything.
