That was 2 weeks ago. It's just slow this week for some reason. The Detroit area is loaded up with vans/Sprinters from all Carriers. Also the normal "hot spots" in the normal freight lanes just have not been producing the past few weeks as they normally do. It'll get better and when it does then we'll all be begging for mercy....lol

Freight has been VERY strange. Just does not make sense. Our customer base keeps growing, production is up but overall expedite volume in the industry is down?

NOW NOW........... You know it will, you've been around long enough to know this....LOL
I think ( going off memory here and well thats not the best....LOL ) The 2-3 weeks prior to this week the avg wait time for a load out of the Detroit area was not to bad. Seemed right about at the 24 hour mark ( for me ) with most times being less than that. Back in November and December for me my avg time out of the Detroit area was roughly 36 hours. So really there has been a significant (for me) decrease in the amount of wait time. Some of that time has been reduced by a few Canada loads that I have done.

We count on shippers mistakes somewhat....I guess they are being more careful and frugal...
