And the truck getting .50 cpm more in reality means about 1.50 more overall by time logistics, brokers and sales teams get their cut.
Besides Freightwipper isn't saying .50 cpm more he's saying 4 to 5 dollars a mile to the truck!
That's probably 100% increase in rates.
But I'm the idiot or dupe who thinks that money is not going to come from somewhere.
Picking my own freight baby! My journey to & of being on Schneider choice, the Adventure & Numbers!

Bare in mind I'm doing reefer, the operation I run is not normal and I have to outplay the brokers to pull the rates I do.
Plus the truck stays out weeks at a time.
Every day it's a battle.. have weed through lots of BS and phones calls but all it takes is one load.
Average rates are a lot lower but I don't haul average loads.
When a broker calls me I tell them straight up of you want me to haul your load you gotta pay better than everything else posted or at least close to it. If they don't wanna pay no problem their load can sit and I'll pick from a better paying load that's on the board.FullMetalJacket and CaptainDaveG Thank this. -

Second, to me, the point of the article is that we need more foreign workers or no one will be able to afford groceries anymore. Typical, and I'm not trying to take this thread into the realm of politics, but its leftist claptrap. Instead of telling the real reason why freight rates are going up, they say its because Trump isn't letting enough foreigners come drive trucks.
Sometimes I wonder if critical thinking has been outlawed or something. -
If companies didn’t want to pay minimum wage and play games with drivers maybe they could find/keep them
P.S. Schneider sucks..... especially Green Bay corporate....RStewart, rickybobby, drvrtech77 and 1 other person Thank this. -
