They may level out but I don't think they're gonna be going back to the basement rates that so many people are used to seeing..

 

Look at this add.... it will happen here.



Some Middle East site sent it.....

 

Been down to Laredo lately? There's a steady stream of new trucks coming out of Mexico.

You're whistling in the wind if you believe these rates are sustainable. Capacity is going to catch up and shippers will adjust to new shipping schedules.

 

ours dont. qualcomm units with mcp 200 heads.

you can flag certain preset notes but nothing to do with location.

 

That has always and will always be part of the labor solution. But it's never been enough on its own and never will be. And even when it's used, it drives up wages within that segment of the work force.

 

You are relatively new to the industry so you don't remember the driver pay wars of the past. Anytime in the past where there has been a real shortage of drivers even the cheap carriers tried to one up each other in driver pay. That's how we got to the average of 44 cpm (or whatever it is) from the 25 or used to be. Heck i can remember ads on the back of trailers bragging about starting pay of 19 cpm.
