Saw this at the mall today. Italian team “World Cup” jerseys. LOL.

@tunguz Cant believe Iowa barely made it 🙌

How Midwestern your are is directly proportional to your proximity to Gary, Indiana.

@MarioNawfal Good old create a problem and have a solution ready for the problem you created in the first place 🤣🤣. Then call it innovation and capitalism but I need help from government with subsidies etc...

Elon: Autonomous Cars Will Make Traffic Worse, We Need Tunnels Elon warns that once robotaxis are everywhere, total miles driven will explode because people will use cars far more when they don’t have to drive themselves. His solution? A massive network of underground tunnels to handle the coming traffic chaos. So, who's ready for underground highways? I know I am. Source: @elonmusk

@AutismCapital @grok can you confirm statement above?

€30 million is like the cost of asking Grok to generate a pickle wearing underpants with one revision.

911? We'd like to report a murder.

@tunguz Mudre rijeci

Ne pada snijeg da pokrije brijeg, već da svaka zvijer pokaže svoj trag.

@tunguz Balkan peeps do this at Tito's Bar & Grill in Urbandale IA daily...

American mind cannot comprehend this.

@FreightAlley If it continues this week, then you will see it in tender rejection as well because we carriers might start rejecting direct customer freight to start hauling these great paying spot rates...

@FreightAlley Reason it doesn't show up is because non domicile cdl trucking companies typically run only spot freight. They do not have regular direct customer lanes. For example, our main customer vets about 30 carriers thst bid lanes for 12 month period. These are legit carriers...

There is nothing in tender rejection data to suggest that the market is flipping. Data looks pretty mundane. I am skeptical that the market is flipping, but the spot market data is very interesting.

@FreightAlley Non domicile carriers leaving increases spot market rate, not the direct shipper to carriers. At least not right away, since spot market rates still lag and are too cheap compared to my direct shipper rate.

@maybedanielleee Ad is so bad even Google is struggling to translate it correctly lol

Thinking about applying

I've been buying wrong equipment...

@scottmelker But what if you don't have any income because you lost a job due to tariffs. What relief?

🇺🇸U.S. TREASURY SECRETARY SCOTT BESSENT: "TARIFF REVENUE WILL PROVIDE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WITH MUCH NEEDED INCOME TAX RELIEF."

@FreightAlley @BenMelton16 @Logisticsexpert Could be an isolated situation.

@FreightAlley @BenMelton16 @Logisticsexpert Shipper has about 30+ carriers servicing various lanes. About 10 have been let go in past 2 months while the annual bid has ongoing.This causes tenders to fall next carrier in line, but in a lot of cases carriers reject it because they didn't plan for the influx of freight.

@ZachNunn You are either misinformed or a blatant liar. There's a shortage of drivers willing to work 70 hours a week for 700 dollars take home pay.

Iowa's truckers are the backbone of our economy. But right now, there just aren't enough of them. I introduced a new bipartisan legislation to help recruit and retain more truck drivers, which will keep Iowa moving.

@hellbenthagen Same with us in regards to first 9 months. But we felt worse was march-april, but that doesn't mean it was a good year either...Still way too many trucks active in the industry...

@VelagicHasan Do I wish cost had a bearing on the market. We've operated at a loss 9 months of the last year. Nobody cared about my operating expenses. 100% driven by the market, which was flooded with capacity.

Rates are going up clearly. Demand is everywhere. Freight brokers: What demand, I don't see any demand.

@tunguz Yes it was that exact size 😅
