Just got off the phone with McKinzie 51774 I called on a load to Manchester and she offered me this load instead for $2200 with extra stop in Newington CT
DAT minimum recommendations to stay in business say $3509. So how they are always getting it moved for $2200. The tolls on GW Bridge did not go down tolls on all the turnpike and the fuel is $4.35/gal in the area. Holidays do not make it easier to drive in that area. So who is always doing this load for them for $2200 and how????
The load posting rate is running at 27.89 posts/ minute ---- That is a very strong market for truckers
SC market showing 16,332 @ 4.51 loads against one truck
So how they are able to do this kind of abuse to the poor truckers who are actually taking all the risks, away from family, bad health and all that, in the freezing cold through NY CT crowds to the market which is not good???
TQL say Columbia SC to Hooksett NH $2200 what they move it for always Wow

They hope someone wants to go home for Christmas.

as a few of us already know, YOU'RE going to find cheap loads, no matter where you are in the country.
they are posted EVERY day, in EVERY region.
are you going to post a complaint thread on EVERY one of them.
and if you look in the broker forum. you find threads already posted on CHEAP brokers.
the answer is pretty easy as you seem to already know it. you don't like the rate. then DON'T haul it.Lone Ranger 13, jbatmick and KeithT1967 Thank this. -
I am O/O who is struggling in find decent rate loads. But guess what. I just keep calling and trying to make friends...instead of you who is bashing everyone...and by the time one of then find out your name, you won't get a load to even pay for diesel. My friendly advice is, to stop this crying crap and get some rest. Hopefully by the time u get up rested u can find a decent pay load.
KeithT1967 Thanks this. -
You'll never find that lane paying $3,500 for a box on any load board....you need to stop looking at them rates you see on there because your never going to get it, you just keep hanging out at the truck stop while the rest of us are running around making money!!

I'm guessing the brokers have all gotten tired of him and decided to run him out of business.
-
Why is there multiple threads about this same op complaining about rates...? There's at least three
-
he ran out of tinfoil to make hats out of, the aluminum industry is out to get him now. and at 960 miles that's about 2.30 to the truck , what ya expect for door swingers. the 3.50 dat tells you, get real
Lone Ranger 13 and KeithT1967 Thank this. -
You can get $3.50 a mile on 900 miles - right place, right time, now and again - swinging doors, but you'll never do it calling anyone asking about their load. Somebody tell me how to post a pdf file and I'll show you the confirm on a load of roll stock from a boiler room broker and his mega paper mill customer I hauled this spring that paid better than $3.50 a mile on 900+ loaded miles. It's not a useful contact for me so good luck calling them up asking for a rate like that, lol.

I dont understand why are you so bent on going to northeast, and if you must why not take a tri-haul? Face it you are in bad area, the rates in Georgia have been in a dump for a while now, in turn the surrounding area has lowered rates too. You may have to take a hit by going out at a lower rate to for example to nashville, bowling green area. Then from there get a solid rate to north east. Instead you sit there waiting on a good load out and rant about "the man" trying to push you out of business. And you are talking to brokers like tql and chr which are known shysters.
