Yeah I don't think it's E-Logs... but it might be. If this is E-logs a LOT of you were running dirty. Like 15-25% at least. And I mean a LOT dirty too. Full blown outlaw trucking mode here.
EDIT: I honestly just think the economy is doing really well and that demand still exceeds supply even at these prices. I can say that I'm #### near priced out of the market on a lot of lanes. I have customers who literally cannot pay these rates. Truckload rates out of Mcallen to the Midwest right now are >50% of the load value for my produce people.
hey brokers, has elogs changed business/rates etc?

Consumer confidence is up. Businesses have an optimistic outlook. Corporate money is starting to flow back into the country. Like him or not, President Trump has had a lot to do with it.
The rates on my lane started climbing in April of 2017. I'm happy to say they are returning very nice dividends at this point.DOGSLIFE, Kyle s, spyder7723 and 1 other person Thank this. -
I'll never forget the little puke broker agent for England Logistics who mocked me last Spring for not accepting his loads anymore.
I could see the market shifting and started asking, and getting, more money on the rates.
He said it was only because of produce pushing the market up temporarily and I'd be back groveling for his loads. I told him to EFF-OFF and have never looked back.DOGSLIFE, spyder7723, whoopNride and 1 other person Thank this. -
Whenever one of those scenarios came along where 4 or 5 hours were lost by a delay, through no fault of mine, I had a choice to make. Just lose a lot of money because of it or edit my way back to a normal paycheck.. ..who wouldn't protect their income in that scenario?
As far as "running outlaw" I'm seeing a lot of people call falsifying logs "outlaw trucking". Playing with crayons in a coloring book ain't "outlaw trucking" lol.W900AOwner, stayinback, Scott72 and 12 others Thank this. -
