Trucking and Freight Market April 25 2024: No Smoke And Mirrors Here 

Not just anyone would take all this time to gather all this data, record and edit videos, read all the comments and even fight off scammers, especially when dealing with woes of their own. Miranda really is a jewel.

Thanks for the data/analysis, some of us want to continue living in reality rather than in fantasy, ignore the people that want to hear fairy tales.

The bills pile up, The bank account goes low. That's reality, folks.

I look forward to your reports every week!!! Good or Bad!

We work for a mega carrier but its not a public company. Based on the slow down in M&A and what I can see, we will withstand this storm just fine. They have stopped buying new equipment, cut bad contracts, trimmed out the lower producing drivers, sold property and equipment and focused in on their core businesses. Makes me proud. Thanks for all the valuable insight into the current market!

The biggest issue in america right now is that mcchickens are at an all time high of $4.

It's alway a pleasure to listen a smart woman

100% in all your information !! Ty for taking so much time and effort for our industries hard truths.

Thank you for your dedication

Thorough and informative as always, Miranda. If you say things are great you’ll get criticized for wearing rose colored glasses. If you say things aren’t good, you’re being too negative. Take the shallow criticism with a grain of salt and keep on doing what you’re doing!😉

In the industry and feeling exactly as you are about it. Just found your channel today and it’s awesome how you spell this out for dummies like me!

Outstanding report! Your confidence is back. Good job on all of it, your editing was perfect.

Keep the good work and keep bringing up-to-date news. Love your work and the time that you put in to bring this data .💯💯💯

OUTSTANDING work! Thank you for all the hard work and analysis you’ve put in. We appreciate you!

I was complaining to the company I lease with about them continuing to hire new drivers when they don't have enough miles for the ones they have and they told me they were on a hiring freeze so I called a recruiter and pretended to be a driver looking for work and the recruiter said there was no hiring freeze so I called them out on it and they tried to back track and said what they meant was they are only hiring experienced drivers no rookies then on Tuesday I was at our dallas terminal and there was 8 ppl in the orientation class and almost all were rookies right out of school, the lies are thick with these ppl.

This is the much needed information about the big picture of the freight market. Thank you very much for important insights and updates 👍

Congratulations! it's so refreshing to finally see some professional information, based in historical & future data. and expectations! thank U so much! this would be a super weekly newsletter ! good luck with all this...I hope this really grows & develops 4u! best regards..

I always appreciate that you are honest and clear about the current state of the market. Though the news has been grim, you often and with words of encouragement and support which I truly appreciate.

Dry van volume in Chicagoland seems really low last few weeks just seems like it’s going downhill even further.

Thank u for taking the time to do what u do. U most never sleep. Does the market keep u up at night? LOL!!!!!

I’m a cow hauler so I’m only tangentially in this market, but I really appreciate the detailed analysis.

You look great in this video. Makes me wanna up my daily water intake 😊

Flatbedder here - lots of shingle loads around OK, MO and TX. I hope you are well, Miranda! If you hit a wall and need a lift, I suggest watching Chitty-Chitty-bang-bang!

Thank you..stay safe

Some people can’t take the truth. They live in bull sh t land. You’re doing a great job. You tell it like it is. Take care.

I’m in the hazmat/ liquified gases part of trucking and it has definitely slowed way down for us. Although I’m still working long hours the work we are doing is not critical like it would normally be. This summer will be the real test to see how bad things really are.

I appreciate ur updates don't worry about the keyboard warriors those people can't handle reality

Thank you 😊

Good work lady

Miranda, thanks for the info on HEART ❤️ LESS EXPRESS, couldn’t have happen to a nicer bunch! 😅 If I ever drive again it will be a Dump Truck or Propane tankers, there’s too many hands in the cookie jar in the freight business. You’re right, people who live in DENIAL always fall the hardest. Cheers 🍺

Great information

Thanks as always Miranda. Running DV's out of the West Coast and refuse to go any further East than Illionois. Just not worth it at all. Tolls everywhere, rates are no better than the West and the weather is unpredictable.

Great content

Probably pretty fun to go "on the search for it" on a daily basis pretty much

This channel is more open an d transparent than the US government. Another great video

So it's that time again. When we can see Miranda 😍

Also Mudflap for fuel is great we save.20 to $1.00 per gallon sometimes it’s great for small companies

thank you for your extra jobs with this videos, much appreciated, marked is dead, whoever is saying everything is fine thats total BS.

good job

Reason for flatbed picking up and the southern fluctuation is produce season. Onions potatoes oranges etc get delivered and n flatbeds . I’ve seen a lot of them on the road .

Good evening, I stay out 2 months . I just bought a brand new T680. I Really like we are at the bottom. When will it start to turn its hard to tell. But your data helps. Keep up the great work. This business is always been boom or bust. If you don't watch everything you will be under within a month.

I love the sport top!

Thank you for giving Correct News! It's probably a shipper or broker who made that comment. Keep up the good work

Your doing a good job .

Keep doing what you’re doing 💪🏼 The ones that are talking negative like to live in a delusional world.

Just gotta Love Miranda, such a Beautiful Trucker!

Thanks!

Good news, subscribers are 86.8 K for your channel.

Just picked up a weekend load in Russelville, AR. 650 miles, 2100, reefer load

Yeah, let's take a good look at those volumes 👀

You are the best! :)

Everyone can just thank God for caring people like Miranda ! Instead of being so negative about everything ! Miranda doesn't have to do what she does for so many people ! She could just worry about herself, and no one else ! Everyone can praise God, for every breath they get to take ! And all his other blessings too ! And don't forget to thank God, for Miranda too ! I hope you have a fantastic weekend with all your loved ones too, Miranda ! May God bless you and yours ! ❤❤❤😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊

Thank you. Great info. Question: What kind of touch screen monitor/tv is that? Very nice

Just gotta stop driving. All of us. For 3 weeks or a month. You won't get evicted for being a lil late on the rent.

I live to see these weekly videos

thanks for reality😊

Couldn’t even find a decent load on Tuesday in Allentown. Lost a whole day over there . Maybe there is volume but they pay like 1.5 per mile 😂

Thank you Cassandra 😂

Any commenters saying you’re negative are ridiculous. You bring the facts, and it’s much appreciated

Volume at 2023 and rates are at 2019…..never mind inflation. And all those little vans and little box trucks or pickup trucks carrying cars etc….all those are required to have MC numbers but they have nothing in common with regular carriers that pulls freight as a CDL A carrier for example…but they are into those public data….and they probably count as regular carriers

Круто! Дякую!

Mega carriers are the problem.i get my trucking news and update here every week keep the information coming haters always hate Facts.

You're the best

I work for a refer dryvan company and run midwest and have noticed we have picked up on contact but hard to get loaded both ways

Yeah, I don't by this. I've seen 3 dollars for several loads. And that's just dry van. On top of that, I've seen more owner ops than mega carriers. And a lot of owner ops.

HEY THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! Leeeeetttssss🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 goooo!!!!!
