Winter slow down ?
New guy here was wondering if the trucking industry slows down during the winter months ? Are there slow times of the year normally or does it just depend on how the economy is going ? Dumb question maybe but I don't know. Thanks

You have your slow times and your high freight times. Just depends on a number of factors. Lately the freight has been a little slow but I believe it is starting to pick up.

The economy does play a big part in it, but here is the scary part. Normally the slow period for freight is the first 3-4 months of the year. :shock: :shock:
