Where is everyone?

Yeah you have Dubuque, waterloo, moline, east moline, Des moines and a couple others. Im guessing your lookin for that roll on freight?

 

It's quicker and much easier to take 49-90-80-355-90-18-23

by taking 355 you skip the horrible 294/290 interchange

 

No offense, but TMC/Daily/Hunt have that crap too cheap for me to mess with anymore. I'm talking under $1.75 mile right now. Hopefully it will come up after March

 

Not to be a smart ###, but they don't just let you pull up to the front gate and tell them where you want to go. If you're trying to get a broker load call Access America, Big Sky (best bet for something heading South or West), or Landstar. I wouldn't get your hopes up. Things are pretty slow right now.

 

i had feeling that was the case but i was hoping lol

 

Rates are under long term contracts. They don't go up or down. The only thing that changes are the spot bids. Come to think of it, that may be what you have hauled through LS if I remember correctly.

 

No offense taken SHC. I do agree. Honestly ive seen some rates being lower then last year. Kinda sucks for me being on % pay. Not trying to church up TMC or anything but I have seen more and more and more hunt and W Express trucks. More then last year it seems too.

 

roll on, drag on, fork lift, crane i dont care lol i'll even take a partial i can make that work

$400 for the week gross is not my idea of paying bills

 

The cheapest carriers get first crack at everything. When things get slow they they grab more of the loads at their low rates before they make their way to the carriers with higher rates.

 

Have to remember also,there is only 120 of us on specialized. A few line haul guys here and there but there is not many of us here that haul this stuff unlike the other few who have all there trucks available to them.
