    Your a smart man. I’ve hauled 3 direct loads and 1 board load this week. ( usually the other way around ). it’s bad when board loads are cheaper than our contract freight. I’ve had 3 loads cancel on me in the last 6 days. I bet I haven’t had 3 in the last year canceled?

    Here I sit!!!! But not at home like the smart guys.

    I've been watching rates drop. Been busy with direct, then the weather has slown that. I just fill in with load boards on free days. But I would rather keep it parked and make no money that go to work to spin the wheels and take a chance of spending money. It will come back before to long. I actually think brokers are dropping rates to make year end budget. Fuel is up and prices down? Some good brokers claim they could get enough trucks with high rates!

    I don’t know but I can hear it in dispatches voices? They are frustrated. Lots of false starts and no pickup numbers and let me call you back ( from the brokers )

    Something is shaking out there? Not sure what though?

    I know, just can't put my finger on it either. I had a cancel on a good broker/account that never has done that.

    Yes. Passed him once and saw him getting DOT'ed once! That thing is just asking for trouble!! But to each his own I guess.
