    Brokers are taking big risks finding loads, they deserve to be well compensated

    Hey man, I drive 25 miles to the office. :p

    In all seriousness, though? It's supply and demand, and people are out here slicing throats left and right because there's less available loads, and a ####load of supply of drivers. I can't speak to what the van guys are seeing, but even flatbed rates are coming down. Stuff I'd normally win, one of my customers was like, "Wow man, you're high."

    So, until some folks either park it, or we get back to business as usual, who knows *what* we're going to see.

    Yeah flatbed is getting clobbered right now. I think once this virus calms down we should be good . Just wondering if it lasts to long , thru the summer, we will miss flatbed season

    Dear Brokers, Please be good and pay at least 2 dol per mile for every load. Thank you.

    I bet you buy the cheapest fuel you can.
    Do you voluntarily buy the highest cost fuel?
    What’s the difference?
     
    dunchues, Lonesome and 86scotty Thank this.

    Yes, there are times I pass up the cheaper fuel and buy the higher price. What's your point?
