Default when will freight be moving again

I Know this is the slow time of the year, but when do you guys think freight will be moving again without so much sitting, or trying to get a run home.... does it pick up in this month or march?

Typically mid-February for Vans, and mid-March for Reefer.

Our contracts are keeping us real busy...but back loads can be a hope for the best. So far we are doing very well.

Some things pay well enough...we can afford a little DH. Next week I have to load blueberries out of N. Maine, and will DH from down in Massachusetts...but it pays enough to make it work.
