Just found out we lost TSC out of Casa Grande, AZ

Tractor Supply is huge and they are not going out of business. Most likely the megas are low balling bids.

 

But, hey.....think of it in these terms, you just gave yourself a $52,000 a year pay raise
Schweeeet

 

That's what I thought. I see them everywhere, even small towns. When the OP said TSC, the tractor place didn't even cross my mind. So I figured it was someone else.

 

Congrats on paying off the albatross. Now the game gets easier for you. What are you driving?

 

Schneider is a mega ... more likely TSC has contracted with 2 or 3 of the larger brokers and are shooting for spot market rates.

Even the megas, Schneider included, are dumping power only loads on the spot market.

 

2020 Cascadia.

 

Contracts come and go. Over the last 11years I have seen them bounce around the different carriers like ping pong balls. Most seem to be 2 or 3 year deals and probably goes to the latest low bid that year. Something will take its place. Freight needs to move and companies are going to pick the least expensive way to get product from point a to point b. Just need to save in the lean times and enjoy the fruitful times. We are coming off some very fruitful time so I hope people saved as we are likely to have a couple down years. Stick with it and it will raise up again.

 

This kind of thing happened often with JBUNT 360. Would be running a regular run and then one day gone. So, I went to a couple of places to see if they just didn't go there anymore and would see a bunch of JBHUNT DEDICATED trailers instead of the IC trailers. That's the main reason I don't do that anymore. To much switching around from Lease Operators>IC>Company Trucks then back to IC then back to Lease Operators...Etc...
