They've been doing that since they started, not that low of a rate but a heck of a lot lower than we as O/O's could afford to run.

One other thing I just remembered, TMC has a Logistics company but can't remember the name, so they don't even need the trucking side anymore to drive down rates.

Thumbs up
It sure cant come soon enough. I asked why one of our rates dropped so low on one of our accounts, dispatcher flat out told me "we have to compete with TMC's rate or we dont haul any of it".

I believe that. We had a major come in and under bid us by a dollar a mile. They eventually lost the account, we regained it.

But daaaamn. A whole dollar ????

I'm watching that meltdown occur now. I'll jump on the bandwagon once one of their employees spill the beans within this forum...and there are plenty here.

Until that time, they'll remain nameless. If the economy picks up, they may be okay. But they're bleeding money right now.

Now if we can get Western Express to follow, flatbed rates might come back a little.
