    Seasonal crap is all thrown out the window.
    I kept hearing.. oh the holiday freight is coming, the holiday freight is coming.. things will pick up!
    Instead it has slowed down even further.

    If Schneider is cutting back in hiring you know it's bad.
    There's less loads now and we're getting outbid and losing accounts to Swift
    When a customer told me "you guys are too expensive" that was a real eye opener.
     
    Pork Chop Express Thanks this.

    I asked Green Bay about one of those negative loads before and asked if it was correct. They told me yes, it was correctly listed that way. I was told that they want the loads for dedicated company drivers but that they still post on the load board anyways.

    I've heard that too, dunno if it's true though.
