Sort of busy but not this week. Running East Coast short loads all week. Ohio to Jersey, Atlantic City to Philly, Elkton, MD to NYC...but made a ton of $. Now on way from Orwigsburg, PA to Westfield, IN for Mon delivery but home first!!
There's a lot of stuff going into Jersey but not a thing going out. I sat two days and a friend sat there for 4 days before being moved by dispatch. I would definitely get to Ohio or western PA.
Dropped off in Middle River, MD. I sat yesterday and no load. Moved to the J in Carlisle, PA last night. Nothing yet and if not today then back to Ohio.
On the "bright side of expediting", with a possible new recession looming we may see an uptick in expedited freight. This was the case during the "Great Recession". Companies only shipping out 1 or two skids may be inclined just to call an expedite truck instead of waiting for a semi to haul...
At least for now no one in the major cities has to worry about being beaten or mugged. Seems like they all got together and rallied enough support on their Obamaphones to vote. I say $8 gal here we come!!!!
Just bought a new Rand McNally 5" screen commercial GPS. So far so good. Was freezing up when I first turned it on but worked good last night. I think it was getting the kinks out.
