    You need to factor many things into quoting a rate. Do you know what your cost to operate is ? Your salary requirements ? How busy will you be kept ? What is the prevailing rate in your neck of the woods ? How good is the shipper about paying, loading trucks, etc. ?Insurance requirements ? Any possible back-haul opportunities ?Accessorial charges ?
    If you are bidding on freight, that says to me the shipper is asking for the lowest price, and there will always be somebody willing to haul it cheaper.

    I never quote a job just to have work. Make it profitable but fair, do the folks a good job, and hopefully everybody will be happy.
