153 fertilizer loads in Oklahoma
Yesterday, 12/10/15 they were 153 loads of fertilizer between inola, Catoosa and Enid. This morning was called and offered a load going to kansas, said I was not interested if the rate was like the rest, was told it was a little better, figured to $1.50 @ loaded mile. I refused the load. Shortly after that was offered one from Enid to garden City for $1.30@ mile. Sure glad to see loads piling up. Most of the loads go to an area where you have several deadhead miles to reload or you take an even cheaper rate to get to a good load. Good loads of maybe $1.80 to $2.00. That's not funny but true. I hope that not only we but employees at shippers and receivers can weather this problem because it is going to effect all. Hopefully the rates will get better soon. Everyone have a wonderful Christmas holiday.
