Fuel cost is High, Does rates goes Up

First of all, truckstop doesn’t establish the freight rate. You do! If your cost are higher your rate should reflect that.

 

Your loads should have a fuel surcharge with the rate. That will increase/decrease based on the national average. You should have already seen that in your year out there.

 

Should rate reflect an increase in fuel price, yes. Will they, maybe for a little bit until freight starts drying up.

 

I'm going to give you the best advice I can based on your question.
SELL YOUR TRUCK NOW OR GET OUT OF WHATEVER LEASE YOU SIGNED!!
Asking that kind of question now after you said you already are an "owner operator" means you were nowhere near ready to make the plunge.
Get out now and just be a company driver until you at least learn basic business skills.
Not being mean, just being realistic.

This can’t be a serious question. It seems like you have asked this same question a few times. Talking to a broker is a negotiation. Never ever ever take the first offer. If nothing more than sheer principle. Never ever ever be afraid to ask for what you want. Fact is I suggest asking for more than you want. You can choose to say no outright, but I suggest making a counter offer. But never be ashamed to ask for what you want. Even if it’s double what they offer.
