Looking for a job

[John McGrath]

I have my current CDL from my home state of Florida. I have been out of the driver's seat since late October 2009. Anyone can tell me if freight has been moving or not.I left back then because of the shortage of freight and was driving back in the 80's when truck driving seemed less computerized. Anyone can tell me the truth and if there actually is a driver shortage and this time an abundance of freight it would be greatly appreciated.

Now its June of 2012 and fuel is going down again.  When fuel was almost $4.00 /gal you had to pull teeth to get a reasonable rate ( I am a Owner/Op who pays all my own bills and does not get my freight from a company dispatcher/broker like Landstar, Greatwide, ect) I live in central FL and have been home a week still looking for a decent paying load ,ether partials or a full load to get moving again and its been rough!  I know the old saying what do you expect from FL but I have been a O/O for over 5 years & I do not leave FL with cheap freight.  I have a step deck!

It seems to me that freight has been steadily increasing over the past couple of months but the rates have not increased as much or as fast as the cost of diesel fuel.
