Freight rates/ fuel surcharge HELP

Is it $0.51, or .51 of a cent per mile?

 

Well, if it says "includes" then it's included in the rate.

 

Scary would be depending on the load board in a dead zone. Could you imagine going out there for $2.15/mile, and searching 3 day and getting the best offer of $.80/mile FSC included?

 

When they say its ALL IN, ya, its all you are getting, included. Similar to infamous line from brokers, "That's all i got in it.... "

 

Plus on the way back it's gonna be $1 per mile all in, which is even scarier.

 

On the spot market, it’s an all in. Before you start have a plan. Do you have a customer? If not, and you’re only going to use the spot market, check the rates for your lanes you plan to run. If it’s lower than you like. That means there is little need for another truck. So maybe starting a trucking enterprise and relying on the spot market in California may be not the most brilliant idea to invest your money…

 

That kind of stuff is usually tight lipped. Not smart to lose income.
