Seems like the quick backhaul loads in in texas dropped 20-30% in the spot market. With the price of fuel going up one would figure shipping rates would edge up also.
Nobody is budging on their lowball numbers either.
I'm a new owner operator. Is this normal in a expected price hike market? Only thing I can think of would be for them to lowball for a couple weeks and then return to the normal rates and be able to say they increased them over the last couple weeks.
And who are the idiots moving this stuff for what would be the equivalent of 100-200 a day after expenses?
