rates going down

Let's tell the truth about inbound and outbound freight in the omaha region .
Contract rates outbound right now to me are about 2.40 cpm a mile max pulling my carriers trailer all costs associated with the trailer on the carrier.
Inbound to the omaha area is always cheap or you will bounce a long ways to get that good paying load .
All temp controlled carriers based in the omaha compete for loads back into the area and its cheap .
Yes rates are up but it isn't going to last .

 

Plenty of loads right now 31 loads on a Saturday night.

 

Some from Werner available

 

Spot market rates yes but it isn't gonna last.

 

Van rates have been real good on spot market. You reefer boys are nuts. Pulled one for 20 plus years. Never again.
I don’t do contract freight it is generally to cheap for me to screw with.

 

To each theyre own ...im always busy making money .

 

You guys need to go to the truck load rates halt 8 week slide thread.

No one even starts their truck for under $2K day over there.

 

It may not but last year 2020 I was averaging 2.78 a mile out of Nebraska market and 2.58 inbound. That’s for the whole year including empty miles that were 6% for all miles ran.

 

I just don’t do grocery warehouses or meat plants. When you can drop snd hook it’s one thing but load snd unload every load amounts to to much down time. Then the sit snd wait until evening anc run all night. My hat off to ya.

 

Isn't what I do and seldom drive after dark .
