Coronavirus triggered massive truck shortage east coast

Better you than me, I dont care what those loads pay. I'd die and go to heaven before I hooked to a van or reefer.

 

Lol man aint that the truth . Not sure i could ever do it . The money would definatly have to be out of this world . But even then i might last 1 load before im ready to go throw some tarps and chains again

 

Diversity, young fellows, diversity. If I was running the spot, would I switch short term for double or triple the rate, you bet. One problem I'm hearing now though is the wait times to load/unload, might not be worth it in the big scheme of things...

 

3500 and i might think about it lol are u guys really getting those rates right now ?

 

$4.57 a mile, $3500 makes it $5 a mile, got you thinking now huh?

 

It is definatly interesting , just wonder if ppl is actually getting paid those rates or if its just lunch counter talk

 

I dunno, without seeing the rate con, like you I'd be skeptical. Plus, with the wait times and inflated I'm sure mandated lumper fees involved, who knows. Best case scenario would be your power only with their drop & hook wagons, let the yard monkeys deal with the loading/unloading BS...

 

Oh, that gets this old dried up heap going again. Might ima buy me a large car at 5.00 a mile. It would still be medicines out of McKesson though. They must be making a KILLING right now.

Oh WAIT....

 

You guys crack me up! I gotta get some sleep, catcha tomorrow, be safe...
