    And meanwhile fuel prices have skyrocketed.
    Looking scary out there.

    Yep. Question now is how fast or slow will it be? Operating costs are much much higher than they were on the last downturn.

    I’ve been in the opinion it will be quick. People are running for fuel money in hopes the rates will increase or fuel will go down. They will run out of time.

    I'm getting lots of brokers contacting me offering $2-$3 a mile for heavy tarped loads coming out of Midwest and South.

    They can keep em.

    What seems appropriate for you flat bed guys in this economy? Tarped vs no tarp, near max gross?

    Depends where it's picking up, going and how difficult/time consuming load would be.

    I charge a lot for tarping. Tarping/untarping is time lost I could be going down the road.

    Again today brokers/shippers aren’t paying up. At 4PM there are over 700 loads in McAllen (over 800 posted but have to assume duplicate loads).
