    You did mean reefer, right? The kind that makes your a more creative person and a better focused driver?

    Yes, in bad times when they lose their jobs and don't know where else to go.
    With economy doing good, you can make that 50k at some factory and be home everyday, why bother with trucking

    So it looks like prices dropped about 15% from the high and more or less stuck there in my world. Still feels soft, but that could just be the customer being a little slow. I'm really curious what everyone else is seeing.

    I saw a drop the first week and a half of July but has jumped right back up for the past week. Not quite back to june numbers but #### close. Last Thursday afternoon is when my phone started getting blown up again.

    I'm seeing a number that I believe is going to be a new constant rather than the exception.

    See, I didn't see a drop- I've seen it level out, and I've moved several loads with a minimum of negotiation, but it hasn't been anything too crazy.
