$2 per mile for a full load is a new norm?

Eh. My cpm is .52. I can still thrive at $2. Rates will go back up.

 

These folks can exist at 85 cents per mile and they're heading your way.

 

They’re already here riding white run down Volvo’s from Chicagoland.

 

Boiling brakes, going 70mph down Vail pass

 

Driving 75mph in the rain at a curvy 55mph zone in Pennsylvania.

 

I guess when 35% of stingers owners are out of bussiness rates will go up. There seems no shortage of dually drivers happy to make $700 a week running his ### off. Andthe other half of the problem is the large carriers and brokers convincing new stinger trainees 65k is a lot of money . Complaining here does no good because nobody has the will to actually do anything about it . Like have 30 drivers picket manhiem with signs fair pay for transport drivers or at the entrance of nissan or chevy production plant. Because the brokers and large carriers are skimming 30-40% off contract rates.

 

Last week United road had loads of new Telluride's paying $235 per unit 800 miles . My guess is they are getting paid $480 to $525 per unit.
Yesterday i saw f150's $175ea. 830 miles.
