Anyone know why the south have LOW LOW rates

Saturated market, too many fighting for the same lanes and preferred easy terrain.

 

go north young man

 

Because there are to many people jumping in not knowing what they are doing. If he will do it for nothing I will do it for half of nothing.
While they never make it in business they survive long enough to put many out. Then another solder takes their place.
Not meaning to put down good OP's operating at low cost because they are efficient! Many carriers have charged high going to Fla. for years because they plan to come out empty. It is not worth their time and or trailer damage hauling scrap paper type loads but some make it work.
If you can not make your minimum roll on! I can work for nothing at home.

 

I thought it was Go west young man, go west?

 

Set a minimum 50 cpm on Central and haggle the broker up from there . Usually get them up another $75.00 or so . If it doesn't work , I WON"T haul it !!

 

50 cpm? How and why are carriers going that cheap? I don't even look at loads that are less than $2 unless I've been sitting for a day. Never ran for less than $1.80. $0.50 would barely cover my expenses.

 

Way to easy for people to get into this business, just get a pickup & a trailer and BAM-you're a business owner!

 

I think he meant $.50cpm per car

 

Oh #### I thought I was in the flatbed forum. No idea how I got here lol
