    Being leased onto $1 per mile plus FSC mega carrier doesn't count bro.
    Real easy to have higher revenue when you're locked onto contract and FSC goes up along with fuel prices.

    We have enough credible people here to acknowledge a downward trend has been forming.
    From my end, I do acknowledge that load board freight for vans dropped dramatically and it is much less than what it used to be.
    Maybe refers and open decks are doing better, so we might wait a little longer for the effect of connected vessels to work their way there too.
     
    Rideandrepair Thanks this.

    looks like there is quite a disparity, at this point of discussion, between what is understood as a spot market and anything else.

    who builds a business off of this and truly expects to thrive? This is and always will be “back haul” rates. Except during the pandemic which was an anomaly

    Trolls having fun in this thread.

    Fuel keeps hitting record high after record high and rates falling at an "unprecedented pace " $1 drop overall in Van and no sign of slowing down.

    This is not bs, all facts.

    If someone has been locked into a contract of course they are not seeing what's going on.

    I agree 100%. I can see things are gonna fall off, but Ray Charles coulda seen it comin two years ago.

    But, it hasn't affected me yet. It will catch up to me eventually.
     
    Rideandrepair and JoeyJunk Thank this.
