Sunny and supposed to be in the 50's today. Looks like a work around the house kind of day.

Your grass is green enough to cut? Still have snow on my lawn but it should melt into a puddle today.

Yep, but, you live in Bison. Grass is growing, Bradford is leafing out, Tulip Poplar budding, my other trees are leafing also. Dogwoods doing their thing. It's spring time you know.

Hey John, do you know anything about finding out freight volume for the last month on selectus? I'm in the OK panhandle, and want to know where freight has been better, OKC or Wichita. I was told to wait here, til they found out where freight is coming from. Just seems backwards to me.

Personally, I don't like to hedge my bet on a city where there's no out. I'm thinking Wichita, so if it doesn't pan out there, I can head to KC.

All we could really look at is our history. But that is not a really reliable number. You don't have a truck count to compare. For instance, we may have taken 25% more freight out of Wichita than OKC, but we may have had twice as many trucks there. So it is really hard to correlate like that. The other thing is freight volumes and areas seem to move almost weekly vs holding a trend for a month. My guess is they want to see how the calls and boards are shaping up this morning to try and have some real time data to look at.
