Rates are crashing and fuel to the moon!

I just figured a graph with no context and no information to answer questions like the one you asked would fit the tone of this thread. I wanted to contribute info of impending doom.

 

First baby formula. Now tampons. Next will be makeup and hair products. Heard it here first

 

2 dol per mile...what's the significance of it ?!
I am asking you, dear owner-operator, yes, that's right, YOU!!!!!

you may think it is either not too bad or not very good,
but as long as you go to bed not hungry,
you should realize that life is good.

In America 100 years ago, some people were working for food.
Think about it...dear owner operator... think about it...

it was not too long ago, it might have been your mother's father, and they did not know the words of gloom and doom.

Think about it, think about it.
When was the last time you went to bed hungry...or what is your belly size?!
Think about it, think about it.

 

The OM is feeling like some people on thread, whilst being the most fortunate to have paid TOP dige for some of those new trucks and trailers, are having some buyers remorse going," Wow. Could have saved $400K."

But in today's world, how much is $400K anyways?

 

The OM has written a Haiku about bad freight rates.

Two dollars a mile
Credit line is way way whacked
Thirty months to go

 

What scares me is the inevitable rubber chicken shortage.

Who is gonna haul those for two dollah a mile?

 

You want the RC???? You got it.

 

Pay went down in 2000, after a late 90s surge.

 

Same here, I’ll blame everything on anything but my own bad choices. Politicians, Megas, high fuel, Inflation, parts shortages, repair shops, shady brokers, Wifes spending, neighbors dog barking. And ofcourse OO’s that haul for under $5 per mile. You’ll see me at the Truckstop Buffett, talking about the good old days of Trucking. I’ll be complaining about my current Boss being a greedy jerk, and how Im quitting soon, to become a day trader. I’ll talk about how you can’t make any money Trucking. Lol.
