Right now I would say it is not a good time to start in this business. It appears that there is a lot of people working for gas money. I watched the load board today and watched a load less then 7500 pounds, 199 miles for $250 disappear as soon as it went up. That same load normally pays $400-$500.

From the same broker $225 for 5000 pounds at 142 miles. And again it was gone in seconds.

These rates are going to put the trucks out of business as that is not even a living wage.

These people must wake up to the facts. You can not take loads for less then it costs to move them and stay in business.

They won't do it long and they might go out of business.
