Freight rates rising...so they say
All the articles and news reports say freight rates are rising so I contacted (applied at) several trucking companies that hire owner operators. Guess where the money ISN'T going. The companies all seem to be paying about the same. Around a buck a mile plus the fuel surcharge so basically $1.35 per mile. Some chip in on some extras, but as we all know they usually try and weasle out of those promises. It seems the wizards of smart that run these companies are spending the money on new trucks and on recruiting efforts but nothing for the actual work.
Glad I wasn't actually looking for a job. LOL
The shippers are turning to 3PL's to try and find trucks to lower their shipping costs. Putting more people sucking money out of the freight before it gets to the truck.
