Cerberus, Lunachic: Thanks for the feedback. Since I last posted I was relayed out of the NE LAYOVER ZONE on a low paying jaunt through the upstate NY snowstorm, down through Binghamton on the 88 and then to Pittsburg where the load was due. It took five hours to get the reload info which involved Dead Heading to Ohio where we are now .Load to TN picks up in the AM.
Anyway, I'm out of there and have recently heard that another major player, YELLOW
,is on the brink of collapse due to a billion and a half pile of debt.
The number of trucks out of action since January is 125,000 according to Evan Lockridge on Road Dog Serius..
So that's Gainey, Great Wide, National Freight and Yellow slowly dissolving and soon perhaps ,even extinct distant memories of a thriving economy.I think in one fuel stop conversation the name Steven's was mentioned as being in some form of financial trouble.
Hope I have better news to share about loads when we're back west.
