    What's everyone seeing on rates? I'm seeing loads sitting, not getting covered. Seems lots aren't taking even the better paying loads.

    Rates have definitely increased. Long loads up 1000-1500$. Increased fuel prices have coincided with the busy time of year for flatbed.

    Bad thing, you might book a load, but fuel move 50 cents before you pick up. I'm bidding way on the large side to cover that, and still picking up some work.

    Unfortunately my fuel network charges a service fee if I get fuel at Love’s otherwise I would.
