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

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

Re: Prince of Freight 1.33 for a Tractor
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.Greg

Not out of TX. I see a lot of budget carriers running straights out of there for a dollar or less. Originally Posted by Dynamite 1

Maybe they are filling up Straights with Mexicans for $1.00 a head.
