Seeing a decrease in freight. Slower every week. Stop with the getting YRC freight already…that freight is not compatible with our business model.

Same at ABF they really are not interested in a lot of that low paying Frieght, haven’t seen any at my terminal getting picked up, some locations have gotten busier due to yellow but I’m assuming that’s freight that ABF was able to get paid what they wanted for it otherwise they aren’t looking to pick up all that yellow freight

down south T Force is getting slammed with it to the point they have outside contractors delivering it. I know this because I spoke to one of them at a common delivery stop

I hear R&L is really really busy. I also heard from former R&L employees is that they haul freight for really cheap.

We've definitely picked up in Indy

No increase here in the Rockies, friend down Southeast says it's even slower than before

I think if you company was already doing business with a company that used Yellow/New Penn/ Holland you might gain work as you know the freight and already have rates with the customer.

Well my terminal usually has 5-10 loads laying there come weekend time. Been over 30 loads the last 2 Saturdays which is the most I've seen in like a year and a half (Ohio, smaller terminal)

 

[gomer2969]

The dock was down 126 loads last Friday. I can't remember the last time they were down that many trailers.

That's what I hear in Midwest. R&L undercutting our prices big time.

R and L doing same to Southeastern just took a Health account in Greenville that had 4-6 swaps a day.

If it was all about price Central Transport would be the undisputed leader

Freight price is just one of many factors to consider when evaluating carriers. Here's how to take into account all your transportation costs & ensure you get the most value.

But Central does not have the man power to handle it

I have noticed on my usual Linehaul route seeing a lot more R+L than usual.
