The economy is booming here in north Florida. It was like a light switch was turned on when Trump was elected. I’m an owner operator truck driver and freight is solid and we’re finally able to get some decent rates. My broker has been quoting rates through the roof because she doesn’t have the trucks to run what she has already. Many hang up but call back in a couple of hours. I’m just not money motivated to run all I can so my broker gets frustrated with me. Good times !
To give you an idea of the rates we’re getting , 405 miles round trip for $1200 + fuel surcharge drop and hook containers. That paid half that before Trump was elected. I don’t see that holding as the winter and spring are our slower seasons but it hasn’t dropped off yet and Christmas freight is done weeks ago.
