Rates are crashing and fuel to the moon!

It does not matter though. Market is so slow that there is a very limited amount of loads from CT to IL. So 3 people who take that cheap freight, get to go home and others get to keep staying on the road.

Also all the brokers and carriers know that you make money taking stuff from Midwest to Northeast, because on the way back you gonna be getting $1 per mile and it's been like that forever.

Like on Wednesday I took a load from Detroit to Providence, RI for $2900, which is $3.5 per mile, in comparison loads from Detroit to MN or WI go for $1.8 for example .

Spot market game is very different compare to what you do

 

I never could do sales when I had a truck. It is intimidating. Probably the worst part is rejection. Which is weird because there's a lot of rejection dealing with brokers. But there's very little invested into that rejection from freight brokers and it's much quicker/easier to score. Spot freight is like a drug addiction really. Same could be said for factoring and many other things that will drag a one truck or small fleet operation down.

You just proved the point I made about being task focused not business focused.

This is a down market.
Truckers keep on trucking instead of figuring a way to make more money.

 

This is rhetorical, you can say the same thing about any kind of business or personal life.
Like "why don't you quit your job and find something that pays more money", or "why don't your divorce your abusive spouse and marry someone better"

 

Well… why don’t you?

That's how it goes when the area is flooded with trucks willing to run for peanuts. He should have done his homework before running into such an environment instead of blaming TQL.

 

TQLs weight room at its newly upgraded headquarters is nicer than the gym by my house... Y'all keep running that $1.50 freight for them!!!

 

Imagine what their gross is if they're spending that kind of money to reduce it.

 

Why did they even feel the need to publicize this? It's a huge slap in the face to every carrier they've screwed over for petty BS. Hopefully they get hit with a huge lawsuit from some worker staring at another worker making them feel uncomfortable while they're working out.
