Am I crazy or has the market really spiked up in the last two weeks? I read on Freightwaves that there are more outbound tenders right now than there has been since early 2018, and that tender rejections haven't been this high since the summer of 2018.
We are paying a lot higher on lanes than we have all year, are you carriers out there seeing the same (high rates and a lot of loads to choose from)?

I am literally sitting watching DAT right now and lots of loads get dumped on the board -
Obviously can't speak for the carrier side of things, but I know I'm paying more as well. I think the folks that are trying to hold the old rates either a) had old bids coming up or b) are getting their ##### kicked right now.
The last two weeks have been flat busy. I've had people popping out of the woodworks needing stuff done.nikmirbre, D.Tibbitt and JimmyTwoTimes Thank this. -
Rates are up but same as Dune T said. They were just so horrid for so long, it only feels like they are sky high. They are just now starting to get up to where it makes sense to run trucks.
I do like what I’m seeing though. -
Please delete this thread before 300,000 people run out and buy trucks again. I loaded my step for the first time in 2 months literally last Thursday. Hope it’s continues.

It would be interesting to know just how many MC#'s were deactivated in the last 120 days, along with how many carriers with 25+ trucks have gone out as well...

That's a good question Clausland, and I'm certain does play a part in rates increasing. I do think the major factor though is that there are a lot more shipments out there right now, freightwaves has the biggest piece of data to analyse in this space, and they are saying there are more outbound tenders going out right now than there has been since early/mid 2018.
clausland Thanks this. -
