Whats Up With Freight

[ROBBY]

So slow out there whats up everyone where is all the freight
Got drivers loosing their minds waiting

Is everyone else seeing same issues?

 

[Salma]

It's really slow here too

 

[jackhole]

Not sure if I mentioned this but , it's January ! Although it is much slower than last January. This is more like an historical January over the past few decades or more - just ask Ludwig

It is slow, no question.

 

[Shakey]

I'm with Jackhole it's a typical January

 

[Freight Broker]

Totally swamped.. (just kidding.. slower than shit here too)..

 

[MikeJr]

It's not that bad, everything will be ok.
I 'll agree, January is about 5% worse (volume of orders) vs. January 2018, but look on the bright side - the second half of January is typically 7-12% better then the first half of the month and February is typically about 15% better than January!
Bottom line, there is no way to go but UP from here, it's coming!

Keep well,
Mike

The worse thing people can do is panic, it's only 2 weeks I agree with Mike Jr in 2 weeks time it will be a non issue.

That's right...
If there is time to make money, must be a time to spend'em, eh...

It's actually a super time to reach out to customers that you have not had time to catch up with.... Use your time wisely and it might just benefit you come spring rush!

 

[Dunkscd]

Are you all having trouble with inbound or outbound?

 

[Freight Broker]

I guess it is slow.. got three calls from TQL this morning .. all different sales people calling on my posted loads.. hmm. I feel for 'em.. just trying to make a living. Also tells me my rates must be ok if there's money enough to double broker.

 

[coffeegurl]

Well, at least reading the above makes me feel better. Quietest I have seen in years in the beautiful Cowtown.

 

[noble]

Super slow! shitty rates for most loads moving.

 

[Paul S]

Some lane are creeping up. Hard finding quality carriers and service

 

[lowmiler88]

It's funny I've got lots of loads in Atlanta and can't get them moved no matter the rate.

 

[YYZRIDER]

BC-ON posted for $2300 CAD for 2750 miles by Kooi Trucking/someone just told me that .. TQL $1800 USD and still looking for the best rate for their customer. I know it's not completely broker but shipper is involved in such low rates.

We're balls to the wall for January, but it's going to come to a screeching slow down in February
