    Man I cant get them to send me home to save my life.

    I keep hearing they are cutting lay downs to halfway meets and sending extra board home more because they are trying save that hotel $

    If freight dont pick up Estes gonna have to either starve dudes out or cut the roster. I hear terminals saying that central is taking schedule freight and pushing it out on the extra board.

    I'm covering this lay down. Now I wont get out Wednesday night from home from no freight.

    Schedule ones prolly yeah My terminal was trying to get me to run team with my brother. Said 5200-6k if they run hard. Idk how that's possible when every one else is starving.

    It's possible. You'll be between phoenix and El Paso. It's plenty of freight there, especially on weekends. The issue... Is getting there lol. I've been trying man but it just won't like up. Next time I get out there, I'm staying until the freight drys up. I want my $2,000/Wks back!

    You already know I'm at home lol. They don't want me to get to Texas or KCK for nothing. I'll run it until I run out IDGAF. So far this year, I've only had a chance to out away $600. That's crazy compared to last year lol.

    Last year was a boom. It wont go back to the way it was then. It should pick up but I dont see it like it was. Truckload side is just as slow. Hopefully Estes is okay and still short guys. If they over hired then more drivers than freight ain't good. Seems extraboard and p&d slow. Lot of dudes I know on schedules are running a lot of empties as well.
