    We are over here stuck because of very cheap freight apparently brokers want to pay like $1.50 for a reefer load going into bronx. I dont even see how trucks pick up freight related to this kind. I know all of you guys know of all the expenses and such. If somebody knows of any broker, that is willing to help us out. Please send me a Message and help a trucker out! Hopefully no one picks up this ridicules cheap ### rates, Sorry for the language.

    We are dealing with the same issue on north side of the border.

    Lot's of new canadians are buying worn out...out of shape trucks and pull for free!!!

    Lot's of customers don't care for service they want's a price!!!

    i am living with north american standards wich is making it really hard to compete with these guys!!!

    You are absolutely right! If drivers and companys refused to haul cheep freight the rates would go up. Stand your ground malhibros. And you will probably pass the truck at the scale because he will be put out of service because he cant afford to fix his truck
     
    D.Tibbitt and EverLuc Thank this.

    It's cyclical, ups and downs. You always have the crazy Russian in his beat up freigty hauling everything for nothing. But his POS rig will break and he'll go away unable to afford the repairs. They are not taking over, It just seems there are more Addidas pants and flip flops in the truck stops these days. Stalin would roll over in his grave.

    agreed with Dryver, but not only the Russian guys, every other driver out there with rig paid off thinking they can make a run for it at such rates. I rather park it and chill until the right load comes out.
    Shippers have to know that if they wanna put their commodities on first class, they have to pay for it.

    Yeah we have a paid off truck, that doesnt mean we haul a produce load, or reefer load. plus over 2k miles for 3700. Sometimes i just wonder how that is even possible to cover, if i was a broker i would never even take a load like that to distribute. I would straight up be disrespecting a hard working driver.

    ^^ pisses me off when I see cheap loads on the boards and always question the company posting it as to what the heck they'rey thinking, as if they don't realize that is a joke to our operation

    Wait them out until they get desperate and have to move it.
