I personally feel the entire industry of trucking is against us. Insurance and agents, then brokers, trying not to pay a decent rate or file frivolous claims from themselves, and not the client. We got hit in the trailer axles on 7/2 we have fought Geico all the way, and we should get paid out this week. , 2 months+ later. Our trucking insurance agent has been dragging his feet on taking a unit off policy for over 2 months, still paying for a unit I can't use. Texas DMV /IRP is trash!!! Drivers want top pay but do really shitty jobs and have to be babysat. I'm over it, I'm over it. I'm over it! I keep telling myself it's bound to get better, we are almost there, and then BAM, there is something else.... Miranda thank you for the insight, I look forward each week to seeing your videos and miss you when you are not in here.

This isn't supply and demand. This is Demand and Trucker Stupidty.

The spot market no longer appears to be a sustainable long-term strategy for running a trucking operation, given the significant overhead and expenses involved. I believe that the single or small owner-operator model will gradually fade away, leaving only the mega carriers with the capacity to survive. These large operators can operate on thin profit margins due to their scale, the ability to self-insure, access to an internal network of mechanic support, and their leverage to negotiate fuel discounts and secure predictable contract prices on freight.

People should drop the authority and get leased on either a company. I’m pretty sure rates will increase when o/o leave. Then o/o should return and get contracts

Hmmm I don’t not think we are over capacity in trucks. There is a lot. But, it’s behavior. The load boards are packed with loads. It’s the behavior. Too many taking loads at low rates still. I wonder all the time what drives this acceptances of low rate. Who takes it? It’s simple if it does not move (freight) the rate moves till it does move. It’s behavior in my opinion. Florida for example. The rate is so low. Why because brokers trap drivers in the state. Can’t go south or east or west only north. Your trapped. Take it or leave it. I’m sure they get national rates. Post them low and say take it or leave it. They know we are not united.

We are having a problem getting paid by “factorable” brokers on truckstop. Brokers status change from “approved” to “not factorable” or truckstop takes the money back on the next loads because the broker goes out of business. We lost $8,000 last month because of this. Be careful! Was told brokers are not getting paid by thier customers putting them in a bad situation.

I began investing in stocks and Def earlier this year, and it is the best choice l've ever made. My portfolio is rounding up to almost a million and I have realized that when a stock makes it to the news, chances are you're quite late to the party, the idea is to get in early on blue chips before it becomes public. There are lots of life changing opportunities in the market, and maximize it.

Many shippers won’t send loads to spot market. The reason is I KNOW YOU for so many years and I HELP YOU in case of I NEED YOU. Then drop and hook volume…bigger shippers don’t want to deal with negotiations per single load daily… DAT it’s nothing to real rates…I pulled freight for different situations and let’s say a CARRIER/BROKER X will get a lot more per mile and they got to pick the cream of the pie….vs a little carrier that usually in this situation gets crap of crap. So DAT is NOTHING from real rates….nit even close…many times they post rates in favor of brokers…so little carries can start from the bottom of the bottom up a little…. So DAT is cutting the power of a little carrier to negotiate a better rate….plus they are creating the situation of panic…NO FREIGHT….but everyone is moving freight. Just as they do at OIL MARKET….no enough oil …but plenty at pump.

I was looking to get into trucking and a few veterans all said the same thing: Be a company driver first, for at least a year or two, to get a feel of things, then consider being an O/O, but no matter what avoid those lease agreements companies try to sell because they are designed to make you fail. I'm gonna try to sign up for Prime Inc or Stevens Transport in January myself. Megas are always hiring, but they don't pay that well. However, whether its playing professional basketball or driving a truck, no career pays rookies as much as seasoned pros. It's all about paying your dues.
