    The most important time to refuse a low rate is when you are a new carrier and just starting to run for new-to-you brokers. They'll flag you as a cheap truck and you'll never get out of it. Be patient, know what you need to be profitable, and stick to your guns. Don't let them paint you as a cheap truck otherwise you'll never get the gravy loads. Once you've built a decent rep with them, an occasional low rate won't hurt if you absolutely have to, since they'll know that you won't normally run for a pittance. CHR & TQL have decent paying loads, but you'll never see them if you start off taking $1.50 freight.

    Vision is correct, brokers like ch robinson.tql, and others want to pay cheap..Don,t settle for low profit margin....Fuel ain't cheap!!

    ok, I,m not sure if this broker has any lanes out that far, but I will ask him..Also what type of equipment do you have??? In addition
    you need to answer the other questions in my earlier response...I,m not willing to recommend someone without it..
