Brokers are Making A Killing on these loads! (screen shots)

See guys I was spot lol.

 

I have no idea why anyone would even post that. That's just ridiculous. Maybe it's a typo......gotta be

 

If you're talking about this...

yeah I dunno if that was posted by some newbie and it was supposed to be a partial but these days it is almost kinda believable.

 

also coming out of pa, first stop was 16 miles from the house., 3 out of 5 times you dead head out of the north east because freight up here sucks so it better pay both ways

 

Partials generally are posted for a fraction of a truckload based on space used, so if using only about 26' or 8' of a 53' trailer, it would be posted for half or a quarter of what that lane usually would pay, plus a little extra, respectively. That's a #### rate though, seems like the broker is hoping to book a box truck for that partial or a really desperate trucker stuck in Denver and trying to get out. Would be better off deadheading to a nearby better area.

 

I didn't say it was a great rate, just that it would take that much to catch my attention. Probably just long enough to find something else better.

As a rule, I price New England same as Florida as-if it was a one-way trip. There's usually 2-3 brokers loading out of the Boston area with ok rates, but not consistent enough to put on a business plan for any reason.
