Operating cost with rising inflation
Not sure how this will turn out, but any RESPECTFUL input would be appreciated. Obviously inflation is getting atrocious right now, so all things considered, why exactly is no one and by no one I mean the brokers, not raising their rates. We run about 5 of our own trucks and have 4 to 5 more outside operations help. So we do get excess loads direct from our customers. That being said, we often do need help with some of our misplaced loads and our rates direct from our customers are staying consistent with rising inflation. So why do brokers rates not reflect that? This is not a sh** talking session, so please don't make it that. I'm genuinely looking for input from brokers and an explanation on why their rates are nor increasing. We Obviously have plentiful loads on our end, but we do occasionally reach out to brokers to find connecting loads for our guys. But I'm not seeing any rates moving from the stagnant level of early last year with brokers. Input folks...brokers primarily. Thanks in advance.
