Truck Load Rates Halt 8 Week Slide 2.0

You didn't realize my voice was so high, did you?

 

Ran a load for a broker early this week. Good price. No complaints.

She called me back today and wanted to know if I could cover another one for her on Monday. I've been watching the boards and felt I was leaving too much on the table.

So I said sure but do to tight capacity I'll need an additional 30%, assured her it was just business.

When the broker's reply is, "I don't even care about the extra 30%, I just need it covered", you realize that even at an additional 30%, you still left money on the table

 

Okay, so the same broker lady wants to know if I can do an additional load for her next as well.

What do you think? Should I tell her, "sure, but do to further market constraints and even tighter capacity, I'll need an additional 30%"

LOL

 

Well, I'm not so sure about the whole "like" thing. I mean how much does a software program where you accept or bid on a load (like Uber) like you?

Besides, these days the performance standard is so low in some markets, due to tight capacity, some of these brokers are resorting to anything that has a swinging ding dong these days.

I just left a place where a driver drove right through the exit security bar. The guard told me he almost ran through the entrance one as well.

Said he "didn't see it!"...LMAO

 

Look at you! You're a high roller now
