Slow winter?

Slow? Hell we are busy. So busy in fact that we've had to broker out a few loads, wasn't enough empty trucks. I ran 13,500 last month (January) and we are still going strong. It was like this last year too.

 

January was my best month since I started in July last year.

 

Slow here too. We had trucks sitting in Cali for 2-3 days waiting for loads...same with the Carolinas. Most runs were +/-600 miles. It's starting to pick up though.

 

We are getting our butt kicked. It's nonstop.

 

I've been very busy... and there hasn't been a lot of complaining about "no freight" from the other guys. OTOH, the economy contracted in December for the first time in a couple of years... it figures that some of us are feeling that.

 

what type of freight do you haul?

 

We are busy as well. I guess the flower wholesalers are gearing up for Valentines Day. I did four trips and ran just a hair over 15,000mls in January. I still had about 4 days at home and a reset on the road with an extra day sitting in Miami. The money is great, but boy it did not come easy either.
