Usually the idiots weed themselves out having too many accidents that not even western express will take them. And the good drivers realize they’re worth more than that. Eventually these companies will run out of people that’s why many of them are taking foreigners that can’t even drive a car properly. But like I said they don’t last long. That’s why the push for autonomous trucks. I’m not worried though. They can’t keep the O2 sensors in our cars to last 5 years I’m sure those trucks with sensors in every crack will get pretty darn expensive to maintain.
$2 per mile for a full load is a new norm?

Ya well i dont think you guys are the only ones, I hear vans all the way up to RGN’s are hurting at the moment, due to people lowballing rates.
The industry is dying, its never going to recover. Someone on here said rates will go back up once these companies run themselves too the ground, but he failed to realize that more and more people are getting in then out.KANSAS TRANSIT, JonJon78, Doealex and 4 others Thank this. -
I dont completely agree with that highest number of carriers filed bankruptcy new truck sales are way down. People still eat and buy goods. After the recession new car loans were pushed with six and seven year financing causing lag for future sales, I havent bought into the fear that self driving trucks are going to put 500,000 truckers out of work in the next 5 years. People arent even sure they want self driving cars on the road. When they build the first self driving self loading self delivery car hauler LMK.

Regarding you saying “rates will go back up.”
If I as a shipper broker whomever post a 9 unit load for $0.35/unit and every time I post it you accept it, what in turn is my incentive to increase my rate? If you’re always willing to accept the rate, why would I increase the rate?
Now if you’re running a 3 car trailer and you’re making $2/mile, then that’s a very different conversation than if you’re running a stinger.KANSAS TRANSIT Thanks this. -
Plus $790 "document fee"
Plus $250 "dealer prep fee"
I considered hauling cars but as millenials and Gen Y collapse under their liberal arts student loans, I wonder who will be able to buy new cars in the near future?
Also, we are long over due for a recession and if Dem's win in 2020, it's gonna be a BIG one.
I think the auto industry will be a keystone of the next financial implosion.nredfor88, whoopNride, Aamcotrans and 2 others Thank this. -
