    I couldn't agree with you all more. We had 2 "dry runs" this week alone and deadheaded to the pick up area only to be told it cancelled.

    I uploaded a picture of the first "storm warning" of the season. It is in "my photo album" under my profile.

    slow freight?

    Does anyone know why the freight is so slow this week? Doesn't seem to be much in the central east area. Thought I would ask and see if anyone knew. Haven't had much for load opps this entire week and thought maybe there was a holiday I didn't know about, LOL
