    This is my 2nd week here in Columbus OH market trying to book a lousy lousy load to northeast. All the calls made for booking the load were answered by some kind of retarded under cover gang by saying either the load has been covered or the rate is too too low which is unaffordable.
    How is every one else doing ???

    I'm going to guess that your from the north east. Because if you think its bad in OH the north east is just as bad if not worse

    The load density for vans is negative in most states on your chart. What do you suggest doing ?? avoiding the Midwest all together ??

    Just curious

    Suggestion? Buy a reefer ... or if flat is your thing, go that route ... Hell, even I had someone call me today, asking if I had a flat in Arkansas ?? I don't even run flatbeds. Much less the southern part of the country ...
