Truck Rates Increasing: 2025 Outlook for Carriers and Owner-Operators!

[@SMD-i3v]

No. Rates did not increase overall. You guys just did good 😂

[@AFTDispatch]

Thank you so much! Comments like this are so hard to come by. Much appreciated and thank you for stopping by.

[@nafakaboy]

best trucking channel….👋 from WJ

[@AFTDispatch]

Ah shucks!

[@PhucYuBich]

6:02 this is whirlpool for Fred's appliance

[@AFTDispatch]

I can check on that for you. Don't have the details on hand but I'm sure we can pull the rate con and BOL.

[@daveahah5857]

Appreciate you mentioning deadhead in your newer videos. I did great this last week as well so I agree it was a decent week.

[@AFTDispatch]

Excellent job Dave, keep up the great work. It's a bit more work on the videos but it ultimately provides the info many of you guys have been asking for.

[@MOONSHADOW-jx2tw]

So disp gets 2 rate cons on I trailer . Does the driver get a % of both rate cons or do they package it as 1 for $2.50 mile. I ve seen 2 rate cons adding up to $5 mile yet the driver only gets 2+. Which is actually 50% when leased to a 70/30 carrier. A carrier will book 2 loads 2 rate cons but dispatch to driver as 1 load with multiple stops. Then they short the miles between stops to account for the rate they offer. Sugar coating loads for bigger margins then you actually made .

[@jimmycagnee65]

Excellent news. Thanks for sharing.

[@AFTDispatch]

Thanks for stopping by Jimmy!

[@AdamFreasier1187]

Minus fuel, repairs maintenance… it can get very tricky very fast.

[@williamrobinson6680]

I'm seeing job postings for Sprinter Cargo expedited, formerly "cents per mile", now $1.00 to $2.00 per mile?! Is this correct, or just baiting?

[@dandrivingthewhitevan6072]

Baiting. $1 per mile is for loads 500 miles and under. The steady rate is .85/mile. This is not an average. It is what you will see as the Gross rate.

[@AFTDispatch]

@williamrobinson6680 I'm not too familiar with HotShots and LTL as I've been out of that portion of the market for some years now but I would think in today's market, with today's rates, @dandrivingthewhitevan6072 is probably right when he says this is baiting. Look for local customers instead and run locally or regionally at worst.

[@angelawhitt7225]

I usually need to listen to videos at 1.25 playback speed. That's not the case with your videos. Regular speed for AFT!

[@AFTDispatch]

Hahaha that made me laugh, and here I am consciously trying to slow down 😄😆😉

[@shayanali3981]

3,900 mi in 6 days?

[@NowwhatTV-p8d]

Yeah too much driving the driver will be dead after 6 months driving 😂😂😂

[@AFTDispatch]

Yeah it's definitely a lot of miles but ultimately it's 650 per day and some guys do run even more than that. We certainly don't recommend running such a schedule nonstop.

[@AFTDispatch]

We certainly don't recommend driving like that long-term, luckily it's nearly impossible to dispatch a driver in this way for weeks and months at a time.

[@dgulley2094]

They also said spring of 2024

[@josh47807]

How much do you charge?

[@AFTDispatch]

It all depends on what you need. Do you have your own MC authority or are you looking to lease on? Give me a call or text and we'll go over everything. Thank you Josh, call [phone] and hit extension 1

[@vladimirmaslovaric7408]

How could he drive 3.900 miles LEGALLY? Unless cheating on ELD.... 🤔

[@stuartellis7436]

You can get up to 4200 miles especially if you can drive 75mph.

[@vladimirmaslovaric7408]

I could tell you have seen a truck only on the screen 😂😂😂 75mph 😂

[@vaughncowan4055]

Thanks for making this video. Once again, you prove my point. DON'T BUY A TRUCK! 😢

[@Truckernc]

You can’t drive over 3500 miles each week 2500 to 2800 is more realistic plus you have to do resets

[@LilyKleinsasser]

Stoped watching right away when he said excellent numbers to report on. Really?!

[@AFTDispatch]

What's not excellent about a dry van in this market making $9,400 in 6 days? Or a reefer bringing in $8,900 at $2.56 per mile? We had one more driver come in high but this was after the video was shot, he was actually above the $9,400 reported. So what's not to like? $10,100 for a team? Have a better day, if you'd like some help, call or text me.

[@RomeoUrsu-fy9qo]

Rates are still miserable…

[@AFTDispatch]

They're not where they were at peak but they have been steadily normalizing. Everyone has different operating costs and many of our customers are walking away handsomely with these rates.

[@RomeoUrsu-fy9qo]

@ They walk away handsomely,while so many are going bankrupt…that works perfect.

[@AFTDispatch]

It's not an exclusive club. Everyone can call, get more info, and sign up. What are we to do? Beg people to do what's good for them? If they have a CDL, they're passed the age of being told what's good or bad for them. People always have a choice but most would rather sit on the sidelines and complain. That's fine too. I'm okay with it.

[@solOperator]

Don’t trust ya. Sorry

[@AFTDispatch]

I'm sorry to hear that, but it is true, I'm not everyone's cup of tea. Have a good one!

[@JS-jv6rg]

It's simple. Just look who is in the office. Of course, it will be better. Trump is a capitalist. Capitalism is good for economies and business. It is one thing to be a politician and it's another to be a business person. Either way I don't see covid rates coming back. It will just normalized, if there are not more carriers than loads.

[@AFTDispatch]

I also don't think those rates are coming back any time soon, or ever, for that matter. Definitely makes a huge difference who's leading the country. I'm definitely hoping for the best. Thanks for stopping by.

[@MOONSHADOW-jx2tw]

$2.30 mile isn't a lot with a truck payment . My break even is 1.60 without at truck payment based on 10k miles per month. A truck payment adds .65 that puts your break even at 2.25. So CA to Wisconsin for 2.25 is 0 profit . For 3 days of travel. Short hauls is the way to go. Also West of I 35 cost an extra .35 mile to operate (cost of fuel , Hard Pulls)

[@panchovillaz8004]

Next 2025. No going increase $ I think 2025 going more cheaper trucking very poor now I drive trucking owner I looking to goo to 2025 may no change little better I goo sold me truck say bye 😂

[@KingsleyAirUSACorporate]

I was a driver for years and became a broker. Now CEO of a company, but drivers that go buy trucks to go be a driver makes zero sense. You go get the contracts that will 100% make you the money you need, and you buy trucks around that business.

[@panchovillaz8004]

Poor trucking 🚚 better change jobs 😂100 % tru
