Maybe for someone doing contract. But I am hearing of 5% rate increases for contract carriers since fuel has declined. I do rate quotes on the spot mostly based on how big of a need I sense. That fuel is cheaper this year compared to last really is nothing I even consider. Besides that nothing else has gotten any cheaper out here. Coyote's quote had little to do with the decline of fuel and everything to do with the over saturation of trucks out here.

I guess the moral of the story is there really is very little loyalty in this business. It doesn't matter that you helped somebody out yesterday, they'll cut your throat tomorrow.heavyhaulerss and ChromeNut Thank this. -

Cash is king. There always seems to be a fresh supply of the gullible even after many get wiped out. The longer this goes on the better off survivors will end up.

I want to believe ELD's will help improve rates but I will believe it when I see. I am looking forward to leveraging my truck with a fresh 11/14 in the late afternoon when most everyone else is burnt up on hours. I still hate them and will never do a 10 hour break within 200 miles of the house guaranteed I will drive home ELD or not.
JimmyWells, Tama Mai Hawaii Nei, mp4694330 and 1 other person Thank this. -

Depends what kind of ELD will be required, if its current Qualcomm style, its not gonna be a big deal...but if it will be European style ones, its gonna be a tough one

I have seen you post about Coyote and TQL and it seems like you just do not like brokers.
