    If he paid $3,600 on a holiday week then he over paid for sure. Everyone is looking to go home. Companies I've hired have been taking stuff for .98 a mile just to get outta town.

    Believe I'd just deadhead home for that price. That's the reason you plan ahead on holiday weeks, so you don't get stuck and feel like you have to take that stuff. .98 cpm won't even cove the cost to move it.

    Yeah it's crazy. Unfortunetly, if guys keep taking freight at 1-1.50 a mile. Rates will not come up as a whole. If the freight would sit on the docks for literally a day or two rates would come up instantly.
     
    G13Tomcat, whoopNride and noluck Thank this.

    i know this is an old post but TQL tries to stick it to the customer and the o/o. I ended up with one of their customers that said they paid me half of what TQL charged them. If you are a new customer you must pay for 2-3x loads in advance.
