Big Mike’s Take

The first week of June looked considerably healthier than the internet wanted it to.

No, we’re not back to the insanity of 2021.

No, brokers aren’t throwing money around.

No, every load isn’t a winner.

But if you’re running a quality operation, maintaining service, and staying in productive freight lanes, there is still plenty of opportunity available.

The market isn’t amazing.

The market isn’t terrible.

The market is simply rewarding competence.

Which is bad news for people whose entire business strategy consists of opening DAT and praying.

See you next week.

Stay loaded.

Stay profitable.

And remember:

Hope is not a dispatch strategy.
