Truck Load Rates Halt 8 Week Slide 2.0

You need to get over here on the east coast where the big $$$ is.

 

Means, someone was offended and that’s the best excuse they could come up with.

 

I wonder if creditors, etc., will ask,"Did you get a virus relief/ aid, loan, entitlement, whatever."

 

One wonders at how any of this is going to shake out. It's simultaneously scary as hell, and equally fascinating.

 

Then the 5 a mile will be 2.5 i get it on the one hand but on the other this site is a great public wealth of knowledge. Best rate in the last few weeks was from TQL go figure LOL

 

As I was saying in another thread, confusing it with this one, that loads out of the water plant in Pleasant Prairie, WI going to Chicago Land: Orlando Park, IL or Lenox, IL (about 70-80 miles each), for which I made a bid in Convoy app for $550 (I used to get $600-700 for those) were sold for $280 and $299, respectively - Convoy shows you now how much you lost in your bids.

After fuel and tolls they are left roughly $190 - 200 for all night work and most of your 14 hour clock burnt. The pick ups were like 2 am - 3 am.

Those who took them must have been rather desperate with no cash on hand and now they will eat any little bit of carcass they're able to find. I hope that this cliff will have a catalytic effect on the current overcapacity break down. It will expedite it into a sudden burst and the sooner the better.
Another thing is that there is no way they can keep driver's pay here at 55c at these rates. I don't care if it is 1099 or W-2.

 

That's bad and scary. I am afraid that If the shut down continues for too long, more desperate people will die from suicides and violent acts than from Covid-19. At some point, majority of ordinary people would rather get their jobs back than worry about contracting the virus.
I mean, if had only $375 dollars cash savings and bunch of maxed out credit cards, I'd say, f...Covid-19, I need to work. On the other hand, those who can hole up for half a year or more would rather wait it out...I can't blame neither...I don't know what to think any more.
