Trucking and Freight Market May 2024: Some Good, Some Bad, Some Ugly 

Too many are in the same situation, God bless you

Am actually considering to make the same decision. Park my truck and go be a company driver. Be safe out there!

Any good companies you could suggest? Good luck

God bless your heart for your encouragement of us!

@@7ann7seven13 better times are coming 👍

Nice! Gratz

@@Stavros1977 Get rid Biden and it will

Oversized drop deck flat bed will always pay better. Everything costs more but truckers getting paid less than before inflation

Its a game. The brokers wont tell you what they will really pay. The capacity information is spot on here. Raise your rates or dont move it depending on area. Some of the brokers dont care they wont budge. Some do. Most play a hard game so the tough service. Remember the brokers are not your friend by any means. Dont tell them your personal business. Just raise your rates and see what happens.

Im so glad! I will keep making those tables then

We all are doing as much as we can Stay strong buddy

Time to retire or go local bro

Feel the same 😮

One of the best weeks I’ve had in a while for me

@@wrld-zu9yt you must be a broker

What equipment type do you run?

Volume is not an issue, it's the capacity that came in doing COVID that is sticking. So you are correct

@@TruckingMadeSuccessful Broker transparency is an important issue that’s is attributing to the low rates as well.

It's a pretty bad market, with the rest of the plains markets.

Unfortunately not but if I find something I will definitely post it up!

If I find data for car hauling I will definitely include it

Seemingly a great point. I'd like Miranda to try and explain that.

Not in flatbed

​@@joshcecil5892 what did you mean, not in flatbed? Loads are less or loads are more, but to many trucks, not enough trucks????

Through the safer web you will see the bonding company’s phone number, you will meet to call them

I hope so!

Bosnians in Bowling Green KY taking the cheap loads

@@wrld-zu9yt The truck is their HOME, what should we expect? I had a gate attendant in FL tell me MANY truckers in FL use their trucks as a home to live in , so they just drive around locally and try to park and sleep. That is why there is NO AVAILABLE parking for trucks in FL unless you wanna pay 35/ nite.

@@7ann7seven13 idk about FL but the Bosnians in KY are very successful they’re just too lazy to look for decent freight and book whatever

Oh no! Where in IA are you

I learned her videos aren’t accurate

Get on the load boards about 1-2 am.

😂

Well this is produce season when it flip 😂😂😂

@albertkint9926 That is 1 factor, you're not going to see a $1 shift cause produce season. As the overall economy improves, interest rates fall and people are comfortable to spend you will start to see it change. Remember that the US literally tried to kill inflation by killing the economy. That slowed everything. The USA isn't a lemonade stand, it's a robust economy and if you can't manage your finances during inflationary times, you will not just lose profit, you'll lose your business. Unfortunately as more capacity ecits due to bad business management and financial planning, we who are left will reap the reqards in the next cycle during the upturn. Thats why you can buy 2019 freightliners with 290k miles for $35k right now. Dont see people complaining about thatm
