rates today

wow, I have talked to drivers from several different companies today and cannot believe the rates they said [and a few even showed me] that they were being offered,

one load offer at .85 cents a mile,another at .95 and a liftgate load at $1.05. others talking about loads at .75 to 1.25.

these are all "D" unit loads

about all of them say they cannot last much longer, and with these rates I can see why.

Are all these expediting companies going to continue a race to the bottom or is someone going to figure out that they cannot haul their customers freight if they lose all their trucks??

They can offer, it does mean we accept those ultra-low rates. As of right now, and it can change as we all know, all of our rates are higher than they were for the same time frame last year. That is all I can say. I don't know if we can maintain that, I sure hope so. Layoutshooter
