Rates are low so sometimes you just have to tell the agent NO

Idk why people think it's that bad really. Maybe their operating cost are too high? My bottom line to operate is 1.31 a mile and that breaks me even. Pays my Bills at home and my truck bills. And I have no problem fi.ding loads for $2 per mile. Ya there used to be a ton of $3-4 per mile. But theres up times and down times in every market not just trucking. When times are up invest to lower your operating cost. When times are down. Find where the money is and run with it. For me it was flatbed. I couldnt do van just because there was 5 billion people doing it So less demand equals less pay. So when I hear people saying the market sucks. I hear they're not being smart business wise. Times change, and you need to adapt or you sink This will never change

Well said. I wish you the best of luck going forward & I hope there can be more drivers like you with their mind/attitude right. As I have stated before, education is what holds this industry back.

Just like 2018 the brokers really paid you what you needed to get in debt. They paid great to raise capacity now too many trucks for rate increases.
