Just got offered a 920 # 1 Skid Shorty south of Indianapolis.
100+ mi. Dead Head/ 25 Loaded Miles. I asked what our Total Loads for the Day was right now and that almost made me say a cuss word.
Accepted the Load that doesn't Pick Up until 7am. It's better than nothing, and they paid me nearly $1 All Miles. Good thing is it'll put me in perfect position to PU after 8:30 @ one of our Big Customers nearby.
Dispatcher said even they don't know why Freight is so lacking right now.

Same story I'm getting plus the added bottom feeders are killing us.

Exactly what my words have been in the past, in a calm, Curteous voice...and "that's supposed to placate me?"
No comment on the other end.
I only call in prior to Moving or going Home to see IF, IF I am On Reserve and therefore will wait 20 more minutes to see if I get THAT call with a Load or Not.
