Brokers and FSC?

Yeah, you're hauling plants out of northern Florida.

That won't last too long... do it while you can.

 

Laffin'..............

 

I havent hauled any plants at all. The rates this week has bee about the same as last week, for me.

 

I've seen rates coming up quite a bit in the past 2 weeks. I thought it was just produce season kicking in, but now it seems like it's stronger than that. SE going MW has been strong, Indy going west has been good, even TX going MW has been good-- and that's just for general van freight. The only place that's still dead is the EC going MW-- but I doubt that will ever change.

In my experience, rates don't go up with fuel, but only with supply and demand. Most shippers and brokers won't ever do what's right, but they do what they have to do to move the freight.
