We are all crying the blues it seems. 4 s/t drivers called me saying their rates have dropped .30 per mile. More on some loads. Me, 5 loads in 16 days. So seems rough for everybody. Must be spring fever! :rolleyes:

if straight truck rates are down .30 a mile that is bad. that would also mean no miles for us cause we aint going to run just to turn the wheels on the truck. anything below a 1.45 all miles with fuel at this price doesnt leave much left over. after checking the natl. avg. it might be more than that. lets hope things catch up.

Our average per mile rates have not moved anywhere like that. I think that might be the exception not the norm. We work hard on rates. Remember being a percentage based company our revenue moves in line with our units revenue. Share the pain, share the gain.

i wouldnt have thought so, cause that would make them bidding loads way, way below tariff and thats less profit for all. they are good about that 90 % of the time.
