    I think you are wrong when you said there is a companies who can afford. Ryder and Penske raise the price not just because its a high demand. They increase price because trucks breaking when customer drive 5000 miles weekly so they can not make any money on it.
    Admin, please delete this thread looks like there is no answer just questions and I am pretty new in a trucking so looks little weird when experience truckers don't know answer on 2+2=?

    Do you provide motels for the drivers who stay out for a month? Do you provide motels at all?
    Are you paying 1099?

    Dock high dry vans.

    These customers want to lock the trailer into the dock which a lot of box trucks can’t be locked into the dock. One customer had a box truck move forward because the brakes didn’t hold and a forklift almost fell off the dock before they require to lock every trailer no matter what. If it can’t be locked, it can’t be loaded or unloaded.

    It's different with box trucks, I have loadboards just for box trucks and no need to lock 'trailer' and no need fork lift to go inside but they usually do if its not to heavy and I never had a issue.


    Edit: Staff member I guess you are admin. You should ask better question. Welcome to McDonald's party!

    they don’t increase prices where their customers can’t afford it, they increase prices to the point where they make money and so can the customer. They look at freight prices just like you and me.

    you said you are new in trucking yet you call everyone clowns here who have asked questions to see if they can better understand your situation.

    let me tell you something many of us here are thinking. The clown is the one that walks into the room and calls everyone a clown without knowing who’s who.

    you don’t know if I’m a box truck owner or owner of a box truck company with 100 trucks. You have no idea what everyone here does or owns. You my friend have opened your mouth and insulted everyone who’s here trying to figure your situation out and guide you.

    but

    you have spoken and removed all doubt.
