Picking my own freight baby! My journey to & of being on Schneider choice, the Adventure & Numbers!

And the truck getting .50 cpm more in reality means about 1.50 more overall by time logistics, brokers and sales teams get their cut.

Besides Freightwipper isn't saying .50 cpm more he's saying 4 to 5 dollars a mile to the truck!

That's probably 100% increase in rates.

But I'm the idiot or dupe who thinks that money is not going to come from somewhere.

 

I think it will level off to an extent here soon but i don't think rates will fall to level prior to this spike...

 

until recession hits....

 

Divided by the number of pieces on a trailer load it’s chump change per unit......

 

Nothing is "chump change" in business no matter how big or small you are.

 

First off, there is no definition of "skyrocket" in the article, unless I missed it, which is possible. Some people think, the price of a pound of produce at the supermarket going up a half a cent is like someone cutting off there right arm. Then there are others who pay almost no thought at all to what they spend every week. So, can we have a definition of "skyrocket", before anything else so we know what we're talking about.

Second, to me, the point of the article is that we need more foreign workers or no one will be able to afford groceries anymore. Typical, and I'm not trying to take this thread into the realm of politics, but its leftist claptrap. Instead of telling the real reason why freight rates are going up, they say its because Trump isn't letting enough foreigners come drive trucks.

Sometimes I wonder if critical thinking has been outlawed or something.

 

If companies didn’t want to pay minimum wage and play games with drivers maybe they could find/keep them


P.S. Schneider sucks..... especially Green Bay corporate....

 

Maybe if they portayed it better...like the more regs they levy the more it cost to operate therefore it cost more to haul the good which in turns cost consumers more money...
