Are truck drivers, & or O/O seeing a slow down if freight

Subscribe
I would like to know if other drivers are seeing a slow down in freight.

I haul flatbed out of the Vegas area. I have seen a dramatic drop in loads, and rates, as compared to 2012, 2013. Of course there has been an even bigger drop than in 2014 but I have not included it because it was an anomaly. Include it if you like.

I have looked at van freight out of Vegas and Phoenix as well. I don't haul van so I can't speak to what was. I can say things don't appear to look good in the van side of trucking either.

I have posted in O/O forums on this issue also.

What are you seeing and experiencing?

Please, if you can, offer up you experience on the subject; past and present.

our work has run us ragged
we haul bottled water mostly and it has taken off and we can`t keep up
we pull dry vans
the rates have jumped up
last load was 268 miles for 1300
wish every load was like that one
