    Thanks, was talking more historically if they will be higher or lower though. Like if you get something that you'll have to run over the holiday.

    If I had to run something over the holiday I would definitely charge them more I think typically the rates in flatbed go down from January to about March just because of construction demand is so low But the rates on flatbed don'typically skyrocket like that around Christmas time because the majority of shipments are in dryvans

    I found a load last year that “HAD to be delivered before the end of the year “

    Company asked me what I wanted to go out on the island. I gave my rate plus return rate.

    they paid.

    Mine either. BUT as a hooker there is a rate, and I would work if someone coughed up the money.
