Price of Freight for a T&T

I can't believe that the Rates have fallen to that of a. 1.33 a mile.

I'm in Texas let the Carney go Broke I'm not Driving for Free.

looken at the load Boards can't believe what Im seeing.

They must be despert in Texas to run freight for that.

Well it isn't everyone. It seems that maybe it could be one of them "valued customers" or coming from the freight people?

I was offered more than they the other day - $2.24 a mile but the customer decided to add 21,000 lbs more than my truck can haul and it went to a t/t for $2.65 a mile.

Not out of TX. I see a lot of budget carriers running straights out of there for a dollar or less.

But are they stuffing the truck with several load?

Kinda of a mixed bag. Some are and some aren't.
