It must be different at different terminals. Heard Knoxville drivers have been getting runs cut pretty consistently because of low freight. Driver said one day 6 runs were cut.

Anyone else all of a sudden notice a rapid fall off of freight? Down in the SE it seems super slow.

Yes. Several drivers are getting cut daily. Have seen runs get cut and they send the driver somewhere else other than their normal run. Some are getting called before they come in and told just to stay home. Some only getting a couple days a week.

Reading this forum it seems it's not just at Estes. I hope things get better but being the economy is terrible and an election year who knows.

You are correct.
It's not just your company that is slow.
A lot of business's....factories .... Trucking companys... Even food restaurants are slow and laying off.
I hope it gets better soon.
Stimp, things down here are so bad, that our rivers are running only 3 days a week.

Here at FedEx in the SE we seen a huge dip im going to say 3 weeks ago now and it seems to just keep getting slower
If we don't have 100 empty pups on the yard in Nashville it's right up against it. Good luck Estes driver's, but it's a hell of alot slower at FedEx. Mainly because of PT and greed.
You guys need to keep in practice.

Any opinions on how long a trailer can sit without needing a mechanic to get running

Idk, I pulled two that I hooked myself on Tuesday night, they’d been sitting for a long time up top of the hill with the rest of the empty pups we never move. Tires had to air but brakes released and had no issues.

Surprisingly I’ve only run about 280 miles empty this week. 100 to get to my first load, and then 180 from Knoxville back to Nashville. Rest of the time it’s been heavy vans, and 2 heavy sets last night.
Being a company man, I paid for half of the fuel when I ran empty.
One of them was probably Song running between Knox and Nash.
