What's killing the rates are the illegal carriers, hell, I could make more money if I didn't have to pay IRP and $15,000 a year in insurance. (I haul high end cars and you need at least that much insurance. )
I had a guy pass me with a single car enclosed and dually and tell me he wasn't commercial yet had a UShip decal on his trailer........ I wish the DOT would go after these guys and park a few of them.....SLANT6, KANSAS TRANSIT, sxdime and 3 others Thank this. -
Remember who you are dealing with. Weasel car salesmen! They dont care how much they save, as long as they save

Well, I am experiencing the same right now. I am new though. Starting out with a dually and a wedge. Gotta start somewhere right? I have dreams of owning a few 9/10 car haulers but at the rate I am going now, it is looking very challenging. I get extremely frustrated and insulted at the rates I see on Central but I can't be mad at them. They are out to do the same as us. Make as much money. Isn't that EVERYONES goal? Most will put a car on dirt cheap. Give it a couple of days and if nobody calls, up the price a bit. Stay in contact with the good brokers. Even the good ones like to make a little extra here and there.

I'm looking at moving up from my 3 car wedge to a 5-6 car, not so I can drop my prices to fill up, but to fill up at the same rates I work to get, to make more $$$. Everyone likes to hold on to their money, but if you ask brokers on CD for more, I bet you 80% will throw more on top of the rate they post. Except Montway- they can kiss my hairy ash LOL! When you underbid everyone on uship- illegals included, and then RE-POST it on CD, there ain't much left. I wondered why I never saw their cars on CD until I forgot to put on my .50 cpm filter, and way at the bottom are the .25-.30 cpm cars. How companies like that stay in business I will never know. Oh yeah, it's the idiots that take those loads that put the brokers kids through school while their own wear ratty clothes to school. ALWAYS ASK FOR MORE!!

Amen brother- I hear ya and see it all the time running between San Diego and Sacramento. I may be small and drive one of the last cab overs in SoCal LOL, but I'll be darned if I don't always get thumbs up or someone taking pics of my old girl. And I do it all at a profit! As for uship, I always start at around .80 cpm because I'm hoping to keep the price high, especially since those SOB's "aren't" a brokerage but still take a huge cut! I wish the FMCSA would come in and do a raid on their carriers for compliance. WHoa nelly would that be a money maker for both the FMCSA and IRS! I'd be in tears laughing as illegals would be in tears from losing everything! F em!

Well I live in Stockton and like I said have parked my car hauler for now. It is sad to watch it sit
