Flatbed ltl to south

[Dave in London]

Have 11 feet and 13000 pounds of room on front deck of step going to FLA via Alabama. Truck is in Brampton today.

I cannot believe how bad outbound deck is right now. All winter landstar board showed 5000-6000 loads with about 25 out of Ontario. Right now they are at 10200 loads, with 19 out of Ontario. Who's economy is hurting?

hopefully our dollar continues the trend downward......but not betting the farm on that one!

USD is almost at $1.02 now, so its gonna get better soon we hope!

p.s. if the US has a bad economy, ours is worse (in transport)

Thats for sure. Landstar's load count has doubled, but their Ont outbound has reduced.
I just had a US broker try to get me take another lane, 11 feet for 1000 miles, for 425.00. Divide and multiply the footage, and he is generously offering 1.85/mi for LTL open deck. woo hoo. to an area not known for inbound.

My mom said there would be days like this. I might go back at 300.00 just to ensure I get it.
