so where the hell is the money?

We see all these news articles, where shippers tell us that rates have doubled or trippled, and they still can not find trucks. When the normal L/T ratios are 2-3 loads per truck this time of year, and typically pays 2 bucks a mile, we are now only seeing 2.40 per mile, (National average) for flat beds when the current L/T ratio for flatbed is well over 90:1 ? Shouldn't the carrier be seeing a perportional increase? Brokers are getting rich off this ELD mandate, but the truckers are still getting screwed.
