Default Is Tonnage Improving at ABF?

Are any of you guys at ABF seeing better tonnage numbers lately? I have heard of a lot of the regional guys saying they're busier and wonder if you all are seeing anything.

Tough to say, just when we think its picking up here in our area, we seem to fall flat again for a while.
