Just got off the phone with a broker he said that fuel has gone down so has the rates I said ok last month I was getting $2.20 a mile so let's go $2.00 he said it again I can't pay that I said it's only dropped $.50 a gal to $3.50 a gal so my math shows it now cost me $.10 a mile less in fuel not $.50 cents

See if anyone has empty rail containers to move. They're tall but light.

I love hearing the "well fuel has gone down" line from a broker. 99% of the time I'd be willing to bet he hasn't lowered the rate to the shipper he just sees it as an excuse to take more off the top

Ever consider pulling a tanker??? You live in a great area for it, and you will get at least $2 mile to the truck pulling THEIR trailer and running under their authority. Plus about 1/2 of all your miles will be empty too!!!
