    Another layover day...

    Had a load picked up by either an IC or an independent who had the load brokered by SNI. 1300 miles gone and replaced with 65$.
    Trying to make the best of a Green Bay brownie...counting jack rabbits and submitting online applications.

    Yes Freight has been soft for quite a while now... It is slowly starting to pick back up so it's just not Sni it's across the board that Freight has been soft

    I'm seeing a bit of an increase in the board now. Not big, but an improvement at least.

    It had gotten to where I was assigning myself a load out of he house before I even got home for fear of not having anything local to pick from.

    Another message today telling us that the west is very soft...
    Last week I should have received 3 days of layover for short miles; so far nothing.
    Looks like another thin Friday.

    Maybe should run reefer if you're out west. Van is pretty crappy out there.

    There is little I hold in lower opinion than grocery warehouses...lumper scams, 6 hr unloads, Nazi apointment schedules that have no flexibility for the driver but can change by days if it suits the receiver.
    I'd rather drive a septic pump truck or eat shards of glass than drive reefer.
    A dedicated run is starting out of Reno the middle of the month.
