Best Rates And Lanes

This post is funny you want others to tell you what's taking us years to figure out...LOL

 

Have to agree with you on that one. When I find o/o to broker freight to, when I hear back haul I know I'm making at least double what I do for a regular truck.

 

No the dat can give a loose reflection of the market but the majority of the time it's off, and never in the truckers favor.

 

no 85 around utah. only 80.

seems like all states are starting to speed up. with the exception of montana still behind the curve.

we won't talk about the west coast states.

 

I would point out that I have never told DAT what rate I got off of a load from their board or otherwise. Have any of you ? If not, then how can that data possibly reflect us or be meaningful to us ?

 

The best load is the one that just left, just the way it is.

 

Not close they push this service and I did bite but was quick to learn the numbers are not close some lanes it was showing $1.60/mi when that lane paid $4-5/mi and others showed $3-$4/mi.
the thing is they only use information from loads that have posted rates and the professional guys like me know don't wast the time to call the rates suck and are not negotiable.
