Cheap Freight

I don't run sweet taters no more because of the cut off school buses killing rates

 

I live in Fla and dont run cheap freight. Thus,.. I dont run Fla. How ever,.. Between Trenton, Elizabethtown,.. Phili, Allentown, Greencastle, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Akron, Columbus, Gary, Schererville, Kankakee, Alsip, Chicago has been a goldmine for me with a plethora of very well paying loads. I havent been home since April for fear the rates will magically dry up,.. so cashing in while the spice is still flowing.

With the exception of a few odd loads here and there,.. I have not moved anything for under $3mi since March. With many in the $4 - $6mi range.

So not sure who you are talking to or imagining how cheap labor will effect truck rates,.. but for anyone not running record gross revenue right now,.. your doing something wrong.

I run hopper bottoms and mainly agricultural straight from the field.....corn, wheat, beans, taters, etc. They will take a school bus ....cut it into a flat bed and ride. Can't compete with that.
I gotta watch what I say out here . I dwell in the "sandbox" aka political section most of the time and they don't like us off the farm lol. Make a thread in there and you can speak freely but beware .....you gotta have thick skin

 

I've seen white hipsters and young rednecks doing the same thing. Probably comfortable,.. who knows.

I really doubt leg position or windows down with arm out,.. or hat on backwards,.. jeans or shorts,.. I doubt any of that will have an effect on rates.

Thats their choice but my opinion this is not the time to run a crappy milage contract
