Wow! I know freight had been slow. Had no idea it was that bad. I drive regular OTR team with my husband and we've been getting between 5,000 - 6,000 miles during the past few weeks. So sorry to hear you've been sitting for so long!  Shocked

Hi JoElle,it is pretty bad,but,Sitting is part of the game in heavy haul.However,we don't usually sit this long! 5-6000  is a lot of miles!!! I know I could not handle that much. Hopfully they will find me a load next week.I am not far from Grove Crane and they usually ship some crains at the end of the month.Maybe I'll get lucky!    Road hog

Well,I moved 3 more loads since my last post! 200,000#,170'000#,and 150,000#.Loads are getting smaller,and harder to find. Sad  Anybody doing any better,or know anybody that is?

man, hang in their road hog - we're all feelin the pinch...i've made a personal goal - to lose more personal weight percentage wise than the drop in overall freight load weight - might as well make the most of it, i figure!
