Spring is approaching, at least according to the calendar, and the trucking industry has responded by doing absolutely nothing differently. Carriers say warmer weather usually brings optimism, but experience has taught them not to celebrate until at least two systems fail and one unexpected delay is fully explained.
Drivers say spring feels like a rumor at this point. One owner-operator said he rolled his window down briefly, then rolled it back up out of habit. “I’ve been hurt before,” he said.
Dispatchers report spring planning mainly involves removing the word “winter” from explanations and replacing it with “conditions.” Freight is expected to move faster, but nobody has committed to what “faster” means.
For now, spring is acknowledged, noted, and placed on standby.
