Flatbed demand hottest ever? data says so, what do you think? What is going on?

For what its worth i run only SE regional and been doing great pulling a reefer with the current rates. Averaging 4-6 dollars a mile loaded and not many loads over 40k.

I truly do miss the flatbed routine and load/unload times. The lumpers and large DCs are starting to get to me.

I’ve considered going back to flatbed but when I compare the rates in the SE its not even close to what reefer is paying.

Whats a guy to do.

 

Ive only had that happen a few times but pretty accurate description of how it goes with the large DCs.

 

I've noticed flatbed rates starting to drop myself
