Same old song and dance!
Man am I getting sick of the same old statement! "Fuel prices are down so you should be able to run for less" to this I say BS! This equates to the same scenario of "Fuel is lower so the cost of goods recieved is lower, therefore the factory workers should be able to work for less!" In what universe does the fuel cost become the only driving factor in rates? Does the price of tires, brakes, equipment, license, insurance, road use tax, drivers wages and many other items involved in operating a truck go down? Hell no! So then why would anyone think that we can operate for a fraction of what we were recieving just a month or so earlier?
Is the problem on the broker side? Possibly? They still have to bid freight to make themselves useful to the company, but at some point the carriers with rolling stock need to take a stand and let these loads sit!
I guess I need a vacation because I am about to go postal if I hear this BS anymore!
