    Spent this whole week in upper midwest, only had one load!! Now Im sitting for two days just north of Cincinnati and I cant find one semi decent run with 150 mile radius, all the stuff popping up on the load board is underpaid garbage.
    How are the rest of you doing pulling a dry van and where are you?

    Times like this are when the business relations you make in the good times pay off.

    You have it posted up?

    I know that, but even the brokers I have good relations with are giving me zip, they are trying to move short runs at 2 bucks a mile.

    They're no good if they're doing that to you. Post your truck up. Right now is a good time to catch someone in a bind.

    I dunno last couple of weeks I was seeing what everyone was griping about. Available loads are down in a lot of places that had been much busier. But they still can't seem to find trucks. Some are still paying good money.
