I can see it now.
Driver Joe sitting in the company breakroom overhearing his dispatcher saying yes its 3500 dollars on 700 miles.
Driver joe figures his 0.34 a mile pay over 700 miles... oh 235 or so gross. Its a real pittance. And there is no extra for danger pay getting sick and infectious etc.
And dispatcher wonders why Driver Joe has gone out to buy a tractor trailer... and takes dispatchers load for 3000.nredfor88, Mattflat362, Rideandrepair and 3 others Thank this. -

Just lunch counter talk at this point IMO. I hope rates jump up this week though. We saw some firming up last week but no big jumps.
Rideandrepair, D.Tibbitt and bzinger Thank this. -
I dont expect any big wind fall out of this as 99% of what I do is contract freight....maybe a small bump up on my frozen con agra loads to Penn.
Either way this isnt going to last long so dont run out and buy new trucks and trailers.
Will say tho if I do see these insane rates into Penn, NY and Nj outbound rates will drop even lower from their already dismal level .Big_D409, Rideandrepair, Cat sdp and 4 others Thank this. -

I don’t see any big rates advertised. Doesn’t look like I missed much this week. Stores cleaned out. Maybe most normal shipments were already booked? I’ve got next week booked. Waiting for the Boom. Meanwhile, almost out of coffee at home. Time to panic.
