Trucking and Freight Market March 14: Rejections Hit 2023 Levels...Again

Freight volumes are still doing well but darn those rejection rates that crashed to 2023 levels. Diesel prices are still pretty upsetting, and the market feels completely stagnant at the moment. I am hoping that once warmer weather graces us with its presence, the freight volumes will go up, offsetting the load to truck ratios in the carrier's favor.

Broker had 47k roofing shingles flatbed OKC to Wisconsin. $1.49 per mile. They wont pay any more. I decline offer. 20 minutes later load is gone from load board 😂 some idiot booked the load. SMH Crazy!!! Then they post one going to Michigan. $1.61 per mile. Gone off load board in 10 minutes!!! Hopefully these guys taking the loads that cheap go bankrupt soon!!!

[@AA-hy3xs]

True But when that guy will go bankrupt another smart guy take his place And it’s an on and on all the time To many cheap guys in the industry

[@user-xxx77720]

Must have been partial😉

[@jermaineroach976]

I see the same thing with dry van! I’ve seen 267 miles go for $450.. make that make sense

[@user-se3hj5hr1q]

Lot of carriers are promising home time so they have to get you home for the weekend no matter the pay. That can lead to dirt cheap loads being taken

[@BigFaggTruckingLLC]

Yup. This is happening with all freight unfortunately. Just got back on the road after taking a week off and I've ran two out of the four days because of this exact issue.

[@landriver1]

Every week I tell myself "It will be better this week" . It never is ☹️

[@georgiiarakelov6560]

Next year bro 😎

[@LAKERSRISE]

At least the pacers are doing OK 😂

[@RomanVarl]

Thank you for the update Miranda!

[@haythimalaubaidi6829]

As always, very informative. Thank you for your time and effort ... you are the best.

[@h82bbad1]

Thank you! Love the channel!

[@finalout99]

Glad you got your whiteboard. Working again Miranda. Thank you for what you do and we all appreciate it.

[@mrcabal1]

I think I need to start drinking before watching your briefs 🤣

[@TruckingMadeSuccessful]

😂

[@jermaineroach976]

Hope you live beside the store bc you will be doing a whole lot of drinking

[@CabdinuurSanka]

😂😂

[@KostjaKlyzhevGarmatnij]

Thank u for your overview ❤

[@grandpatsworld6938]

Thanks for the information. I believe you're correct with the weather analysis, seems like if you follow weather patterns and still seasonal conditions, the trucking volumes and movement correlate. Have a great weekend.

[@kevinfuentes127]

Thanks for all the info.

[@ronsmith4968]

You can even make mediocre news inspiring... Good to hear/see you again.

[@916ChaosLord]

Great video. Thanks for all your hard work.

[@americanskeptic1559]

Until owner operators develop some standards instead of thinking what is the least they can run for, trucking profits will continue to decline

[@Peterblack12]

Owner operators do have standards. It's not them. It's these Canadian companies taking dirt loads and mega carriers taking these "positioning" loads because they have contract freight to service. So their contract is paying 3.13 a mile for 1800 miles and the load to get them there is paying 1.49 for 620 mile. They factor in both of them it's still 2.73 ish a mile. It's stupid but when have megacarriers done anything smart

[@bretyoung1869]

Great job Miranda !! The market is bringing you and many other's down. We need to keep positive and move forward, hopefully we all make it !! Thanks

[@rlfedler]

Yeah Green Bay! I like your videos and the graphs are the best. Thank you for your hard work ..

[@maxmurphy7306]

Great full cycle analysis as always. Thank you miranda .

[@gregorykacsandy5005]

👍 good luck !

[@EduardoSilva-xe3gp]

Houston has over capacity in dry vans, for the past 3 days over 1500 loads on DAT, but unfortunately rates still pretty bad, thanks a lot for the information ❤

[@trancedunn8064]

Very good information ℹ️ and very good looking 👀 future Thank you! 💖

[@mr.b8372]

The country is collapsing

[@TheBodiesAreInTheTrunk.]

Good job.

[@sardoryunusov]

We will go through this ✊🏼

[@CabdinuurSanka]

Yep, we will

[@dandavenport4565]

Thank you ! Back to Chicago !

[@williamspain3860]

Beautiful, brilliant and hard working=an interesting combination.

[@adventuresofaliftime4989]

So crazy thing is 2024 is shapping up to be our best year in business. Rates seem to be down but we are continuing to find those needles in the haystack and continuing to grow our revenue. Best of luck to everyone out there.

[@danlindeke2561]

Mpls,MN passed wage for Uber/Lyft.Page A6 of Star -Tribune ,March 15th,has 3 letters to editor about wages. Good reading for trucking industry.

[@BigFaggTruckingLLC]

OWNER OPERATORS!!! STOP TAKING BELOW THE 15 DAY AVERAGE. You're doing what these brokers want. If YOU take cheap freight, you have to run more and in turn, that keeps capacity UP. Please know your cost per mile and if you don't, please do us all a favor and exit the industry.

[@codym7960]

if your hauling based on 15 day dat average your already hauling cheap freight...

[@BigFaggTruckingLLC]

@@codym7960 the only way for it to go up is booking freight higher than that already cheap 15 day average. Good luck getting hundreds more above it unless it's a multi drop, specialized, or drop trailer at shipper or receiver and even then, they still try to push it for lower than the 15 day.

[@ducks1089]

It’s never going to change. People don’t know their worth. People take cheap freight just to keep the wheels turning. I ask myself if this is the new normal ? The industry is done

[@BigFaggTruckingLLC]

@@ducks1089 the unfortunate truth. All started with these idiots coming into the industry with equipment financed for twice what it was worth. They were the initial reason why rates started dropping at an alarming rate. They were desperate to stay in business when they should've never been in business to begin with.

[@justinstephens72]

It's because of these damn immigrants. They can't drive, don't pay attention, RUDE and downright should not be in this business. They either scam you or take cheap ass shit.

[@blippacg]

So yes, Pendleton, OR is relatively good but there’s not a lot out there. I’d be worried about getting stuck in that part of the country.

[@kevinwilliamson2236]

Freight is looking good at Twin Peaks

[@loribaker6068]

Please find what,rate u can haul w/out going broke. Your bottom line is the most important Stop taking cheap freight. If fuel is 4 dollars you can’t haul 2 dollar freight

[@user-bs8rf3jz4v]

I can tell over your past few vids you’re not happy and you’re getting tired of doing these.. I tune in every week and use the info you provide, please stay strong… we are all tired! You are very necessary for many people.

[@TruckingMadeSuccessful]

You are very observant. It definitely takes a toll when all I can say is "it's not good". Hoping it gets better soon!

[@quenshawn1991]

Everybody in the comments arguing with themselves 😂🤣 folks will not stop hauling cheap freight no time soon.

[@bossrydakellz]

All the freight is cheap so I don't get that argument 😂

[@DavidTrucker-lo4bs]

I want to go to Wisconsin to get some of that good freight, but my pride won't let me take those rates from Texas going there.

[@Mykhailo_Didek]

Хороша аналітика. Дякую.

[@johnkatakowsi9907]

MidWest here a little slow this week ,but i will take the break diesel fuel here is cheaper Too!!! Go Girl Go!!!!😃

[@adamgrossman8715]

Cheap freight comes from people not understanding their overhead. Most guys look at it like a company driver. The truck made 1500 bucks there, for i made 1500 bucks. They have no concept of fixed costs and what they need to operate for a mile to make their business profitable. So if your pointing at people going stop hauling cheap frieght and you dont have a spread sheet with your costs and break down you should look in the mirror.

[@gaberivera2960]

Hi I have a question. So are Rates going lower because Brokers are paying less, or because shippers are paying less

[@TruckingMadeSuccessful]

Its both. Shippers sometimes pay less, and sometimes shippers pay the same but due to the fact that carriers take cheap freight, brokers simply are able to pocket more. The issue is that there are too many trucks compared to loads

[@truckerjon7255]

My company runs alot of Georgia freight in dry van there struggling to get freight coming back out of Florida were i live were actually hauling scrap loads which is ridiculous.

[@tsocity213]

Hey thanks leeettsss gooooo🎉🎉🎉

[@mbd1058]

Hello, can you please update market into about Hazmat loads. Nobody mention them anywhere.

[@Peterblack12]

I've asked her this in a comment before. I run hazmat, and it's usually 40-50 cents or so per mile more. Back in the day it was a dollar to 1.50 per mile more. But more people are running from van into hazmat. Driving down the price. Also some are going into reefer but it's more expensive to get all new equipment. Kinder Morgan and baker Hughes always pays decent. And the places near the great lakes pay good to great. So dry average 1.82 hazmat will be 2.22-2.32 on average. Near great lakes it will be about $3.

[@jonathanappleseed5896]

Is there any way that you can go full screen when you show the four Maps

[@JW-lw8pc]

Are you glad you picked trucking? Just wondering

[@TruckingMadeSuccessful]

I love this industry, even now. It's strange, I know.

[@Hitty_456CTDriver]

Peace Ms info thank!!!

[@-J-C]

how can people drive for $1.82/mile? I don't understand. Fuel alone is almost $.50/mile so that's already $1.32/mile.. take out the company percent, trailer rental, ifta, plates, cargo insurance, bobtail insurance, tolls, truck payment, truck repairs/maintenance... What's left? You are driving for free and your putting wear and tear on your truck and a possible breakdown that costs thousands to repair. Can someone explain to me how people are driving for so cheap? I just can't comprehend it.. I've been sitting at home for 1 month now I can't afford to drive for $1.80/mile. It makes no sense.

[@JuanS-ey9so]

Hello. I know you are very busy and things get missed. I was wondering if you are still answering emails? I sent mine on March 1st and have not heard anything back so I was checking. If turn around time is greater I understand. Thanks Juan

[@TruckingMadeSuccessful]

Hi Juan, I am a bit behind but if you can re-forward your email so its at the top I will do my best to reply by tomorrow!

[@JuanS-ey9so]

I will thank you very much

[@williamspain3860]

Nice Spring look and wonderful analyses and insights 👍👏🏼

[@tcameronrealestate]

$1.82 per mile = broke (dry van)

[@jermaineroach976]

You just define the word called TRUTH!!!

[@shawandablackman-cole1464]

I would like to see more for box trucks. What area is best?

[@TruckingMadeSuccessful]

Sadly I dont have specific info for box trucks yet

How do these northern areas use refers, do they grow things in the northern areas?

[@UHaulShorts]

@mrcabal1 been out since new years; need 2 kum back

[@mrcabal1]

@UHaulShorts I'm beginning to think the only way to succeed in this industry is with fraud. It seems like the ones committing fraud are the only ones making it.

What about box trucks

[@exodus1-12]

[@jeffreymendez7877]

Where can I get access to this data?

[@TruckingMadeSuccessful]

Most of this data is from SONAR Freightwaves. Spot Market data is from FTR which is free to access and flatbed maps I make myself using truckstop data

[@alfonsogonzalez6412]

The carriers that makes it thru this times will learn to overcome any future situations by putting the 💰💰💰 to work not to start buying luxury as most of them do cause they don't see this as a business.

[@r.mitchcullins1299]

I love your videos. Love spaghetti straps. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.

[@shoncaldwell4359]

Amen 🙏🙏

[@growthefarmup2606]

Who is running for $1.50 a mile? Especially flatbed? I see loads all over the boards for $1.50 - $1.75. It can only be ppl with paid off equipment and mega carriers. Just keep the miles off the truck it's gon s turn around Q3 2024 (a little) until then in 2 months will be the lowest priced used equipment you will see in our lifetimes, if you got the Capitol may/ June will be the time to buy!!! I'm seeing casscadias with 500K Miles posted for sale st $25K

[@jordanmeija7384]

Flatbed Yay...😁

[@gilbertoavina6156]

Bring back the scarf, Miranda. Goes perfectly with the sophisticated look and natural charisma you already have.

Hi wife. I am obsessed with your page. I love the information. And oh yes you are so beautiful 😍.

[@benitogarcia1121]

Don't disrespect! Miranda is ver informative to her base

[@dispatchOrderingbase]

Since last year trucking is going worst every week with zero hope due to some bad brokers and cheap owner operators even booking loads on 1.5 $ per mile with Dry Van these are some canadian and some american as well fu*king this all what a bad thinking and broker have only words "I have covered these lanes every week on this rate " WTF who you covers but this all is so cheap..😔😔

[@MrTruckdrivnman]

'Sigh'...

[@DS-qu1oo]

Need a pistol to get a rate nowadays..lol

[@DudeDude491]

Miranda❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@darylb5564]

The majority of my work is south of the Ohio and East of the Mississippi. I’ve noticed lately that the truck stops are full in the middle of the day. It feels like there’s still too much owner operator capacity for the level of demand. I’m a bit surprised because I just saw on CNN that the economy is doing great!

[@GrizzlyOldFart]

This week will be my best flatbed week in quite awhile. 2 loads per day, nothing over 225 miles. Lucky so far with minimal deadhead running Indiana/Ohio/Michigan/Illinois. Decent rate per mile on the short runs, but as usual the diesel prices keep a decent week from being a great week. 2 loads per day for flatbed is a lot of work.

[@level80888]

nice

[@truckerjon7255]

Woŵ she looks amazing in that tank top .so if you had to predict what would say the rest of the year looks like is it going to get worse or better just curious.
