This year i think it would be safe to say!

yes its very bad out there not any better for reefer anyone know when will it get better its paying more to run local in florida Then to get out

 

Do Landstar BCO's and Landstar Approved Carriers use the same load board or different load boards ?

Or, are Approved Carriers only allowed to call Landstar Agents for loads?

 

Flatbed loads have dropped to less than 1.90 per mile in the last week for open loads posted on boards, was checking earlier and a few were 1.58 per mile. I was laughing thinking someone would be stupid enough to haul steel for that rate, but then some with junk can afford it.

 

I like your picture. What are you hauling in that pic?

 

Thanks and that was a company truck

Paper machine roll from Stow Woodward, nothing more than a huge steel rolling pin covered with a rubber coating.

About 55k for the load weight, that was a baby roll.

 

Im stuck in baltimore maryland missing easter with my kids ...stuck in a truckstop ...and the loads out here are less then 2 bucks a mile why do people still take the loads so cheap i dont get it ..as long as people take them there not going to hike the rates ....any tips good companys insights Iam just stuck

 

I know a few that went retro and rebuilt a older rig to reduce operating cost, they are making it ok and having no truck or trailer payments with good equipment that well kept it could be done.

I know two people that have old rigs, look as new. They have no payments on the tractor or trailer since they rebuilt them, they bring home around 125k after all is paid.

Problem is there are too many midnight haulers with junk on the road and that is the loads most let go.

 

I feel for you, been away from home too many holidays also. Are you dragging a flat bed?
