Booking off the spot market vs booking thru mega

Is 1.15 a mile after the 65% ? Also u have to keep in mind if u have dedicated freight with schnieder or big customers and drop and hook stuff with them.. U will lose all that.. leaving that for 2.25 a mile on the spot market is a mistake imo.. Not to mention there is not anything on the spot market paying that right now... the load boards are a bloodbath right now. I get loads on truckstop.com all the time but havent touched it in over a month.. Not worth it..

 

Does that rate include fuel surcharge?

 

The watermel. are harv. more north most every load

 

I know some places let you see what the shipper was charged, is that the case with Schneider?

Because that is pretty low, since I have a feeling megas don’t haul for less then $3 per mile at the moment because of contract rates signed last year. This feeling is based on load boards I’ve seen for megas during the king flu crisis.


just wondering if Schneider is screwing people over.

 

Here’s the thing about getting produce out of Florida that’s hard to factor in: TIME.

Back in the day, I used to run refer down into Florida. On percentage. Decent money going in, but the travel agent would some times want us to get a load of produce. Some times, you had to go out to the fields to get that stuff. It could take a couple days to get half a trailer of produce. You can lose your arse time wise. Proceed with caution.

 

The Watermelons in a dry van, are hit and miss. Typically a bunch of loads are posted by a bunch of brokers. A lot of them don’t exist, or already covered by another. Best to find a real Broker or Shipper, as Direct as possible. There’s loads, but not as many as the boards make it seem. Lot of deception, can’t believe what they say.
