Flatbed freight

Are u guys staying busy in flatbed with this pandemic going on ?? I have been running the west coast for the last month. The only thing moving out here is lumber and roofing materials. Both cheap and heavy. Im working on load heading eastbound and get out of this blackhole they call the southwest.

U guys finding goood paying freight where ur at ? Or is it all starting to dry up like im finding out here? Do u guys think flatbed will stay afloat if this pandemic is extended thru the summer ? My hope is that when this all dies down, its alot of jobsites thats gonna need material ASAP and with the people that have parked their decks and picked up a van\reefer , we might see some good rates for a month or so ?. What u guys think ?

 

That is good u guys have ur own customer . be able to make it thru this bloodbath alive . ive hauled more shingles and rolled roofing in the last month than i hauled all of last year . been getting good rates on it too, up until last week it dried up real fast.

 

Man that is tough i figured u guys out east would be doing ok . alot of places are closing, alot of jobsites are closed out here

 

That is what it looks like . it is starting to worry me . im glad i went and saw my family for a week , looks like i might be on the road all summer trying to stay afloat , sheesh

 

U running spot market ?
