When we get rid of all the cheap Russians, then who ya gonna blame on the low rates? Because the rates were low before the Russians discovered expediting.

It's certainly NOT a nationality issue. We lose bids all the time to brokers that say they "have to go with the absolute cheapest bid" and that also REQUIRE the type of insurance that, supposedly, "these Russians" don't have.
That theory being the biggest reason rates are in the crapper is bogus.
A factor? Sure.
But so is the fact that there are too many trucks in the market compared to the total number of expedite loads currently.

It would help if the carriers would stop replacing the vehicles that leave and let the numbers drop use what vehicles there are out there
he figured it this way 1.05 - .35 = .70 .70 /35 = 200%
That is actually the formula for figuring out your markup%.
(price - COGs)/COGS = Markup
His profit margin is (sales - COGS)/ price = 70/135 = 66.67% profit margin

Quite honestly Steve it feels like they're all over major centers
Between Murray and I we can put in a pretty competitive bid and we are still getting our butts whipped
Ya. I was giving Elliott a hard time about a certain carrier.
We've said it before, the solution is educating the shippers/brokers. Until then, there will always be a cheaper option.

Your right less trucks more freight.Our fleet when from 125 trucks to 75.Last week we had a total of 16 loads.I guess when we down to 10 trucks some of us may get a load a week,luck 2 loads.By then we want have to worry about Insurance or somebody from who knows where getting the loads.

...or...I am certifiably ______.
Who do I run from?
Sorry, bored, couldn't help it.
I don't want to say.All I can I can say is they is powers to be claim they spend a lot of time in meeting and they not returning phone calls. They have stop hiring driver for cargo vans and sprinter, reason they give is they don't have any work for current fleet.I've hoping for something Positive to come out of all those meeting,but so far it been Silents.
Just a thought. But isn't a sad day when owner operators don't want to say who they run for? Really a reflection on how much this industry has changed.
