It seems everytime you tell them its to cheap and you wont do it, they come back with "What do you think you can do it for". This to me is a bidding process. Dont take the cheap rates, let them get in a bind when their loads dont get delivered.... Just my thoughts.

While some can’t get passed their new issue of Lage car, others are paying attention to the stories being blacked out or white washed by the mainstream media, Credit Suisse, Deutsche bank, Bank of England, Inverted yield curve, Crypto, FTX, BRICS, Red Friday, and Blank Sailings being up over 40%, just to name a few.

The second thing is no shortage of trucks. Last year most of the ship dates on the load board were a month or more behind, now they’re a or more week ahead. When they could book loads two weeks in advance or more, that’s a massive profit loss for carriers. Business can be tough, but we ARE direct competition at the moment and they use that. Everyone on the spot market is moving cheap freight because that’s the price range until capacity corrects itself.

If they do, the phone won't ring & that'll make a day even longer. As for the post further down. I was 1 of them who traded off a reliable, title in hand truck. Any y'all old enough to remember Passmore trking from Oklahoma. After they ceased operations. I purchased a W900 in Kearney, Ne. $1700+ monthly. That was a cheap payment compared to these days $2800-3500+ monthly.

Posted by a private BulkLoads.com member.	Posted by a private BulkLoads.com member. It's interesting to see who the commenters are here. Only two or three have been members for more than two years. I kinda understand wanting more information posted about the load. I'd rather have the phone conversation. I can probably get more information in general. My thumbs don't work as fast as the younger generation. Besides, I should be driving. Cheap freight? Maybe. Maybe it's back to normal, whatever that is. Watch the ignorant and the desperate duke it out. Crying all the way. To the Large Car thing. I encountered a hopper driver for a well run fleet from Wisconsin this week. He's driving a late model aero truck and a new commodity hopper. He weighs 26,500 lbs empty full of fuel. And gets 8+ mpg. Compare that to pushing 30,000 lbs empty and getting 5 mpg. I mean it. Do the math.
