Peak Freight

This time of year is a good time for food plants. Should have signed up a month ago.

 

you can as try cold calling too. walmart, ups, fedex, etc always need help with peak freight.

 

Why do anything different than you usually do? If it's peak season there will just be more of it.

 

Check with your insurance on drop and hook first.

Seems like there's solid work on the boards everywhere I go these days. I don't worry about a shortage, I just get tired of trying to negotiate decent rates.

 

Food plants are producing and shipping like crazy for the holiday meals.

As also mentioned, fedex and ups and amazon and walmart for Xmas packages.

For starters.

 

Every year I get a ton of emails looking for teams to haul mail from brokers. Maybe that’s an option.

 

Holidays are dead time. Go home. Enjoy your holidays.

All the hauling has been done in the summer.

SOme of our stores are already got christmas trees, stuff up already. They have been shipping that in for weeks. Now that its finished there is going to be some dead time in the holiday time. All my life the time period between about 12th Nov (After black friday) until Jan 4th is just not worth it. I generally go home if possible and stay there.
