Seems to be a tough spot this week Loaders....We had a tough time moving 6 skids out of Knoxville....Usually pretty easy....not anymore. Welcome to "the new norm".
For sure. Rates have skyrocketed as a result of low availability. Having an understanding and cooperative customer helps, but it doesn't solve the problem of no trucks.
