I have noticed the last few days a Estes trailer, and a sign on the recently vacated Saia terminal in Odessa TX, that Estes in hiring. Welcome to the Permian Basin, Big E!
 
I heard that from a friend of mine who works for Saia. He told me about it a few weeks back. I didn't believe him though. Guess he was telling the truth.
 
Is Estes expanding the Houston Yard? Went by the other day, it looked as if they are getting ready to pour concrete.
 
We're so busy right now. I've never seen so many trailers. I bet there aren't any extraboard drivers crying for miles.

We don't even have enough extra board drivers. They have city guys doing line runs. Dock workers are working 6 days mandatory. Supervisor told me guys are quitting because it's too much work. Where is it all coming from?
 
Indy has a posting to transfer to the new Kokomo In terminal. That was the first I heard of that one. I would guess it is smaller just judging by the town size. Does anyone have terminal info? Yard size and doors mainly.
 
A possible cause for the increase in Amazon freight may have to do with FedEx and Amazon have parted ways, they couldn't settle on a financial deal.

Great...just what we needed in the Midwest. Another short hook magnet...just great.
 
From what I understand it's hard for Indianapolis to get up that way and get the freight back in a timely fashion. Sounds like it makes sense to me.
Could be. I don't know. What I do know is that as a Midwest extra board driver, that's just going to create more crappy short runs to 093, 127 and others. No thanks.
