    This is really ridiculous.
    Indiana to Florida for sub $2 a mile.
    Indiana to Texas TEAM for $2 a mile.

    Meanwhile fuel alone is near $1 a mile at this point.

    Well at least it wasn't just me. What bothers me is next week they will ramp the rates further down. I called like ten times on stuff that was gone in a few minutes. All less than 5 minutes.

    so let the #### sit there on the board and rot.. you can find partial loads for .80 cents a mile all day everyday no matter if the rates are good or bad.

    You're right, but the truth is we both know most loads will get booked regardless.

    Globalism. Guess they figured it's cheaper than making it here. Treasonous IMO.
