Looooowwww Rates

Those guyz only pull dry vans. An don't they go home for the winter

 

I don't understand why the low rates? O listened to the SOTU and today's job report. According to those, supply should be high and demand should be low. We should all be having a hey day!
Oh well march will be here soon, HOPEFULLY an uptick in loads and rates will come with it. Because that's when all the guys in my segment who take the winter off, start coming back out.

 

Driving reefer but I'm under a dry load right now, they not paying to turn my reefer on.

 

The corona virus has many Chinese ports shut down, so millions of shipping containers full of goods are being diverted to other countries, or are just sitting in warehouses. This has created a ripple effect around the world and disrupted shipping rates. They expect it to last into March.

You must be here in Florida also..

 

Container/port work was horrible all last year as well.

 

I was in Ar, Va, Wv, Fl.. still in Fl due to “water in fuel” light, 4 hours later I got truck serviced here in Ocala..so of course I here I sit. Thought about bouncing up towards Atlanta, I have 20 hours left.. but can’t get motivated, thinking about the tv room..

 

It’s that time of year, volume down, capacity up. Simple supply and demand dictates the rates.
