Profile For Michael S.

I’ve seen fluctuations before. One day hauling max weight and the next day 5,000 lbs and an empty. The only time a driver gets canceled has been because our meet driver is out and nobody to cover the run. That is Until about a month ago.

Out of curiosity which company are you with? How long have you been working there?

LTL freight volume goes up and down, I have been called off 2 times in a week, then there are weeks where we have so much freight they are begging people to work on the weekends.

From company to company hack even from terminal to terminal freight volume can fluctuate greatly. Personally I have been called off, when I work the next day i see drivers from other terminals and they are swamped.

Do not think it is specific to your company because I can assure you it isnt.

Been with Estes Express since 2005. In the last 3 weeks been canceled 6 time as a line haul driver.

I work for a major ltl carrier and it seems like freight levels have dropped drastically. I'm wondering if other drivers are seeing this with their jobs or should I be concerned its a company problem?
