Dry Van/Reefer Market Rates

Spot market is horrible today, been getting a lot of 1.20-1.40 quotes, I just quit looking at the board, wait for one of my direct customers to cough something up. And this is for flatbed.

 

Reefer market is also in the toilet. Regular customers are very slow. I am not about to haul something and not make a healthy profit. I have been idle since March 18.

 

Please tell me that you aren't using Load Boards for everything and that you have relationships?

Yes, you will get the below $1.70 rate. But are you not averaging better than $1.90 on a bad week?

 

Yup...I'm in midwest, too. I keep seeing 89 cpm loads I'm like wtf.

 

I don't know guys but the situation is not good at all. I have 2 brand new trucks, running have a hard time to break even, not talking to make a profit. A lot of us will go bancrupcy. ...

 

Dry van? Reefer? Whos dispatching your trucks? What are the weekly gross/ CPM average? theres still room to make money

 

Yep its crap right now and has been for a while. People hauling to cheep! To many from other countries driving for nothing. And guy told me he makes 20 a mile.

 

Hey man, I'm foreigner but I still pay taxes , kindercare, morgage and etc, it's not problem with drivers the problem is economy is down , ppl don't have money to spend and we dot have noting to haul I have 23k dollars fixed payments each month expenses including 6k for me salary so if I work for free 17k fixed expenses I I run paper logs.
