call DAT today (the load board service) over an issue.
They were supposed to take care of it last week and call me back, that never happened.
After calling today and being on hold for a while they answered and apologized saying "we have been absolutely slammed, it seems everybody is coming back all at the same time".
So DAT slammed with new drivers signing up when stimulus bonus checks ending.
That is not a good sign, flooded with drivers when the free money handouts stopping meaning also people will have less money to buy stuff for all the drivers to pull.
$1 per mile coming to a town near you
Say goodbye to good rates

It's some loads declines. But looks like almost all trucks are on the road now.
I think that the rates increased because of higher loads volume. Now we need to transport all goods sold on quarantine and can't be transport earlier and the goods that need to restart the businesses again.
Hope that a lot of businesses don't close for vacations this year so we don't see the usual slowdown in august.
