Truck Load Rates Halt 8 Week Slide 2.0

While the southbound rates out of the PNW are horrible right now, they aren't that horrible. That rate is just insulting.

 

Man, I'd be frigging embarrassed to put that out.

 

Further confirming that staying way the hell away from Lumber was a good call.

 

Over here it's brick. It pays crap and always weighs 45k. They post it for dry vans, I tried it exactly once (2 years ago) and neither the shipper or recip wanted to touch it on a dry van even though it was posted and sold to me as such.

Why do people move heavy BS loads for no money? Seems you can make more with Amazon Crime.

In other news, I'm blown away daily by how good the market is. Nearly 6k gross in 5 days last week and this week I'm on track for 5k on 4 days.....and I'm not trying hard or covering many miles.

 

Yeah but its a hot load !!

 

Younger drivers have this tendency of not slowing down on curves. They may think that if you slow down on curves than your are a weakling. Many mega yahoos were passing me on those I-80 curves in Echo UT.
I was like that too but after bringing product spilled all over the floor to the Chicago Produce Market and being charged personally for the damage, I learned to slow down there to 45mph (as signs advise) very quickly.
