    I hope your not skateboarding. I've never seen so many empty skateboards as I have the last few months.

    Quikrete by my house here in Buckeye has their own trucks to haul their pruduct, but I had one pass me on Monday on my way to LA and he had Pavestone pavers on his trailer. Pavestone is in Phx on 43rd Ave & Buckeye Rd. Not anywhere near the plant in Buckeye.
    Guessing they're using load boards to keep drivers busy.

    I think guys that are hurting are the ones that didn't take advantage of the good market. It seems soon as the market picks up 70% of people don't get with the program until 3-4 weeks later. Then they settle for a medium price, get a high paying load here and there, soon as the market drops, they see their little profits go to loss and panic starts. Brokers are blamed, shippers are blamed, suddenly every other carriers is hauling for cheap, and so on.
