Good Day, Driver. Are you holding your own at your job and keeping as BUSY AS YOU WANT TO BE? Or do you find yourself with more time on your hands than you'd like? Love to hear from you.
One minute in and I can tell this fella is 100% facts and no feelings bullcrap. Just telling us like it is. Something I really appreciate.
We are starving at the rail. We been down 40% since November. There is just less demand.
Hate to say it but i work for a big ltl carrier. Its been 13-14 hour days all year up until two weeks ago. This week 8-10 at most
When we decided stop making machine tools (because they could be made cheaper overseas), we decided not to be a world power. Year by year, that decision roots in deeper and deeper. Everything else follows from it.
He is more optimistic than most. I hope all can hold the line and get through the dip.
I work in intermodal. There are no loads on rail ... Its dead.
Im all for reason num 1. There are way to many trucks on the road and lack of experience.
Question: Do you think that the truckers that allow the load brokers to force them to accept loads at or below cost will actually drive these truckers out of the market?
There’s a longshoreman strike on the West Coast
No lie, rates have been dragging in the cellar for months. Last week and a half it’s been upticking ever so slightly. Leased on with Baylor Trucking which was positioned in a great spot with 51% of the operation one-way freight, 42% expedited, and 7% reefer for the online boom (Walmart, ups and ups healthcare, Amazon plus some legacy customers). Unfortunately, Line Haul rates have shrunk this past year, but, with Werner buying out BAYLOR, been able to pickup Werner freight which, surprisingly has had better line haul rates, since UPS, Walmart, and Amazon slashed rates by over half. Hopefully, with the infrastructure boom supposedly kicking off this summer, we can get some relief.
It's stacked up off the coast of Panama. Ships can't get through due to the drought. They are asking shippers to ship less so they can float the ships through the locks.
Although I no longer go out to Los Angeles and move containers back to Phoenix, my information on the lack of loads coming into the ports of LA and Long Beach, is that due to the contract negotiations between the Longshoremans Union and the shipping companies, that freight is being rerouted through the Panama Canal and up to Houston, Miami, Savannah Georgia, and elsewhere. The Korean mafia has operations in both Houston and Savannah. I get this information from guys that drive our 53 foot vans. The Korean mafia warehouses various motorized products such as minibikes, small motorcycles, chainsaws, snow blowers, dune buggy‘s, etc. our guys in the 53 foot van transport this equipment coast to coast. Our yard and Phoenix even has a sizable warehouse full of this equipment. Unfortunately, since last September, more than 3/4 of my paychecks have been for less than $1000 gross per week. My pay is $25 an hour, so at 40 hours a week, that would be $1000. I can’t live like this any longer. I’ll be switching probably to fuel for Circle K, Pilot Flying J, or some other fuel company. No matter what knucklehead wants to go electric and no matter how hard it is pushed, gasoline will be flowing for at least the next 15 years. With any luck, I’ll be near death by then!
He's got a lot of good points, some have been pointed out for years, but they are still valid.
We haul trash to local landfills in southern california and have been starving lately
I’m leased on to CRST flatbed. I’m finding good paying loads and doing well.
Great video as Always
Thank you
Everybody kept screaming “trucker shortage” a while back. Now we have all these guys coming in from other countries and hauling stuff for pretty much nothing. Saw it coming!
Hubby is with Landstar, freight rates are ridiculous 🙄 😑 😒
The broker's are keeping most of shipper's money. There should be a law Cap on broker's percentage.
Greetings sir, any thoughts on the bridge collapse in Philadelphia on Sunday where tanker hauling 8000 plus gallons compromised I-95 in both directions?? Suffice to say We live during interesting times.
I80/I94 at the south end of Lake Michigan can’t fit anymore trucks on the road.
What shortage?
There will still b 63,000 loads on road. They still gotta go from rail yard to destination
They are not moving freight on rail we are slow 2
You forgot about over capacity. Every Tom, Dick, and Harry got a CDL and entered the market looking to make a quick buck when the narrative was all about a “driver shortage.” There never was a shortage. Also, now that nearly every new truck off the line has an automated transmission, it lowers the bar of entry. Now any dipshit that can hold a steering wheel yet doesn’t possess the coordination or mental capacity to double clutch or synchronize a transmission can “drive” a rig. Just push a button or turn a knob and mash the accelerator.
I saw the writing on the wall about the economy.. been at a private fleet for a meat packing company for a few years.. and they are owned by china soooooo should be good
The problem is the truckers take ship loads from the board they put a load for 700.00 and in 5 minutes its gone
Well, if they lower the price if diesel and resind all the stupid rules and regulations plus treat the truck drivers with respect
Just imagine what an electric semi will do 😢. Biden doesn't understand that without you guys we are in deep.
It's called a depression.
GP jeez 😂
Look to the ports.
Who did truckers vote for?
I'm only getting 1200-2000 miles per week on average. Is this normal to you guys? Company driver for Variant/Us Xpress here
Good for me! Containers baby!
Can't wait for Joe to get out the office. It'll get better. Weather out this storm. We got this.
Does company drivers give away that much money than they could be making
la ports slowed things down for their contract negotiations
Yep trucking with them nasty diesels.
Oh those nasty pipelines. Shut them down. Palestine, OH? How is that now?
Don't expect regulators to be doing the logical and right things. Expect them to do the money thing.
Does GP Transco hire Canadian drivers?
There is way to many trucks on the roads, should be way for stuff moved by train but the rail company's are very messed up situation, truckers run so cheap that it's cheaper then rail cost
GP Transco won't hire drivers out of California pet their recruiter. The freight industry is in the toilet right now. Everyone is affected. Don't see it getting any better for a while. That's why I decided to retire and enjoy life.
Oh that's funny all of a sudden when the shippers want to save money they have all the time in the world to wait for their shipment of goods!
I could have sworn they made the trucking industry, "just in time", cut wages and forced hours of service onto their drivers because they were more preoccupied with 'safety'? 🤔
Amazon it’s take all freight & they are buy there own trucks put new drivers with out experience pay low wages i personal meet a driver not even can park the truck into the dock
I have a business outside or trucking Ukraine war cut off lots of steel for FB food products for refer and van .
Too many trucks and drivers on the road….That’s where freight has gone…
Loads go down every four years from my experience
Park truck don’t take cheap frieght
Scammers or so called dispatch services are taking the loads off the boards
Trump 2024
Look Nobody wants to say it 😅 but somebody has to 😅 But it's just to many Foreigners 😅 Driving Trucks Now 🚚 they will take A Load for A Cup of Water. 🌧 and with All these automatic Trucks 🚚 Now every Woman in the World thinks it's Cute to Drive A Truck Now. And the got the Truck Game Messed Up too. 😅 Those see 2 of the top 5 reasons Trucking us Bad Now. 👎
Look at your mom and pop stores, hotels, forgiven loans, tax breaks which means other people make good money at 1$ a mile
There’s a simple cure for all of these disastrous problems, here it is: Trump 2024…remember how it was when he was leading this country? As compared to how it IS NOW?? It’s a no-brainer folks.
We need to stop voting in career politicians like Biden! I know many people don't like Trump but he is first and foremost a businessman! You want an economy back we need someone like that!
Can you really blame load brokers for maximizing their profits? I mean it’s supply and demand. If, or really when, the market shifts and there are more loads to be moved than trucks available would a driver not try to get as much as he can to haul? Of course he or she will.
Trump 2024

Jack be nimble Jack be quick lock up Donny DIPSHIP and make it quick.
Yep! Three words that have NEVER EVER been said throughout the history of mankind: “Biden was right!”
@@johngaudet6316 yeah because Biden is doing a GREAT JOB, now isn’t he genius? We need this to continue…🙄
63,000 truck loads taken off the roads means less trucks on the road. Less trucks that 4wheelers has to deal with. 4wheelers can get to where they are going much easier!!!
