Business cycles. Been going on since the beginning of time. Supply and demand, no matter how you slice.

I have friends in the LTL sector, they’ve told me their freight volumes have been lower than normal, to the point of moving empty trailers on line haul because there’s no freight to bring back. Granted, they are up here in the same area (Western Washington), which is an endpoint, not a through way.

I read the article earlier today and I agree with most of its conclusions. I'm a contractor for Schneider and I've never seen the rates this good. I think when times got tricky, the bigs went in and renegotiated contracts and now its paying off in a big way.
The spot market guys are sucking hind tit because they took advantage of the situation last year rather than making it an opportunity to gain solid customers.otterinthewater, speedyk and bzinger Thank this. -

The spot guys actually helped the contract guys get better numbers.
