    going on like idk 6 weeks at home now. I'm searching load boards everyday. I can find 1 decent load(1.80-2pm) a day in my area(Jackson, tn) then I see where its going and there's 3-10 loads in that area and of course they're $1pm.

    Financially I'm ok for a moment. I got the ppp loan and wife is on unemployment so bills are being paid. But how much longer do you think there's going to be no loads? Its gotta pick up soon? States are opening back up now. I thought for sure I'd be better today. I was wrong again

    If congress would get back to work and pass an infrastructure bill then I would have high hopes if I was you. In the mean time just hope for all the states to open up and get back to work. Also, I’d be following oil and seeing if the oil patches can go back to work. I’d so, that would help.

    Western states seem to have not stopped. See lots of equipment moving. Construction segment, housing and commercial/structural steel is going strong.

    I’ve been solid for 2 weeks on the west coast with loads of metal and wood! Most are right around that $2/mile.

    Thing ive learned about the west coast. Its incredibly hard to get out for a good price. If u willing to stay out there for a month or 2 u can stay busy but if u just going in and out it aint worth ur time
