My guess is the Big Gun's have moved in and cut a lot of rates to keep busy. We do a Tuesday and Friday load out of Delta, BC to Winnipeg. We still have the Tuesday load, but lost the Friday load to Trans X. They cut the rate so much, that we can't afford to match the price. I'm hearing from other smaller company's the same thing. Once it picks up they'll all of a sudden raise the rates, and we get the freight back. This also happened about 8 yrs ago. Just have to struggle through it.

It`s a soggy holiday Friday here, a nice way to cool off after these hot days we`ve had.
Enjoy those low freight volumes Grant, it may not happen for a while. What are your plans for your week off?

Good morning John.
