    I can really depress you.

    I finally got a load after waiting 2 weeks.

    The next load might take even longer.

    The industry I am in usually rebounds early January. They are not sure when it will now. I did it for over 5 years. They usually need the product there before mid march. But they are not selling what they got.

    I went back to it after the problem with the big truck.

    Probably be changing jobs again.

    A lot of Sunday night trucks can mean monday deliveries. Not seeing them could mean they are still at home.

    Well, the good news is that most of the tax clients come during the late February and early March weeks.

    Remember, truckers complain about everything and will find a negative spin to everything as well.:biggrin_25525:

    Good sign for me. Closer walk. No problems parking. As long as they don't close.

    Neither was the big truck. I averaged about 1100 miles a week. Sitting all the time.

    I could have made about the same and still been home.

    I will give it another couple of weeks and then start checking around. Freight should be starting back up soon.
