Best Payin Lanes

Isn't this kind of foolish to ask? Company drivers on CPM don't know the rates and anyone on percentage (with any common sense) won't tell their rates on their good lanes so they don't get undercut.

 

I am all for helping a fella out but I have a couple or 6 drivers that would feed me my unit if gave out this information.

 

Listen to Road Dog trucking radio on XM sattelite, they have a program on in the evening that goes over rates. They also talk about what different lanes are paying. The program is called Landline Now. Comes on 6 pm central time. http://www.dat.com/Resources/Trends-and-Reports/Trendlines/Flatbed-Trends.aspx This looks like a place to get an idea on rates. http://www.dat.com/Resources/Trends-and-Reports/Trendlines/Spot-Market-Capactity.aspx

 

You'll have to get out there and do it to figure these things out. Yeah it's not gonna be easy street but how do you think everyone else on here figured out what works for them?

 

Wanted to ask the question about what I am reading about truck capacity falling. What is the opinion out there? Trucking companies closing their doors or older guys getting out and not enough new guys to fill their slots? I was just wondering.


I know when I go to Dallas I see lots of new trucks in the BIG BOYS yards just sitting. I like to pick out one or two in their yard that I can identify and watch to see how long they sit. I noticed some have been sitting for 3 months now without moving. Wish I had the income to just let new trucks sit on a lot. LMAO
