Just wonderingif everyone is experiencing rates going up like the people I know. My Dad and brother pull flatbed and I pull an RGN (only 5 axle unit, not one of the big ones)
A few weeks ago I was called about a legal load going from Ky to Vt, I didn't want to go to Vt for more than one reason, however the broker was insistant that I give her a rate. So finally I told her $5 per mile and figured that would be the end of it. 30 min later she called and the custome agreed to the rate!
This week my brother took a flatbed, no tarp load to Louisiana from Ky for $2.75 per mi then reloaded in La to Albany Ny for $2.50 per mi.
Myself when I post my truck I leave a comment about not calling me with cheap freight, if you bid it cheap and can't find a truck thats not my problem. If someone does call me with cheap freight I will figure it at min $3 miand tell them what it will cost. Somtime we are done at that point but a lot of the time I get the load. (thats $3 mi for legal, O.D. loads vary wildly)
Just wondering if everybody else is experiencing the same thing.
Are your rates going up also?
