Trucking and Freight Market May 23 2024: Things Are Looking Up This Week 

I noticed more brokers calling me this week to get their load's covered

Parked my truck for about 45 days. Hope this trend continues and I’ll get rolling again

I love to watch your weekly podcasts as it is very detailed, I am sure that you spend a lot of time on preparing this information and more people should appreciate and put thumbs up.

Fuel prices always go down for holidays. They’ll go back up. Uncross your fingers. Unless you want to keep them crossed. You’re the boss of yourself.

Everyone, Thank God, and give him all the glory, for everyone, and everything ! And thank you too, Miranda ! You have a amazing weekend too !

I believe , it doesn’t matter how high rejections grow, truckers are going to haul for what brokers want to pay . I use DAT to find loads of, but I don’t pay attention to the rates . I run if I get my rate . I’m the one doing the job , it is not the broker .

rates still garbage, nothing to cheer about…..check DAT board and see plenty of flatbed loads “ trending” for $1.25/ mile ( one twenty five). Same rates paid in 1978 when fuel was 50 cents a gallon.Truck stops are packed, junk trucks running wild being affraid of “ no missing out” in hypothetical “ rebound”.Most of the “ truckers” are wearing flip flops and translating using the phone when engaged in conversation at the fuel desk.Being so new in the business you don’t really know what “ good trucking business” is.Let me give you just a quick example-16 years ago, after running 2 ( two) roundrips from CA to NY produce market -you can buy a brand sparking new Honda Civic after extracting all the expenses. 20 days work and you get yorself a brand new car. Or run strady for about 1 year and you get yourself a brand new house, paid in cash.Truckers changing ALL 18 tires one time, cash price. Not used and recaps like today. Everybody was eating lunch and dinner at restaurant. Too hot or to cold outside and annoyed to idke the truck-get yourself a nice motel room evry weekend on the road.Get a load to Las Vegas? Spent 2-3 days there staying in a nice hotel and enjoying the nightlife.Have 4 kids going to college? No problem, plenty of funding for all of them, in the same time.Need to change the furniture and setting for the entire house? Easy task, go on the road for 2 ( two) wekks and everything smells new in the house.And so on and on…. And you think the garbage we live today is almost good?And we see “ small improvements”?No, this is minimum wage slave work in the hope of “ getting rich overnight”. That ship sailed long ago. What is left is a Mirage. Embraced, mostly, by the new third world wannabe “ owner operators” who can’t find their way without GOS or Google translate.As I said before, America is rapidly accelerating into a “ Canada style” trucking-one in which the entire driving force consist of poor educated people coming from third world countries.It’s over, this is just the agony…

Hello good to see you - well we looking forward for more rate increase - thank you for keep us updated! 😊

Miranda’s trucking updates are always top notch, thorough, informative and helpful to those trying to survive in the spot rate market. I may no longer own a truck (as I coast towards retirement) but I always click on new videos from her as soon as I have time to do so. She’s a sweet, genuine person trying to help others .

I have been sitting in Texas Huston for 3 data no freaking loads unless you want pennies loads

Thank you for the update Miranda!

Thank you for the wonderful Thorough weekly Analysis!

Great data analysis.Thanks for the info

Appreciate the work you put in, and as an owner operator it helps tremendously.

I look forward to these updates, thank you! ❤

Thank you Miranda😊

Don't know if it's going to last, but I agree certainly worth celebrating😃

Can someone explain the rejection part to me please? Thanks

I enjoyed the income video, it was like some of your old school videos sharing your numbers. I'd love to see more sometime.

Thank you 🎉 We made it to the next produce season. Another year another fight

Thank you.

Great update video!

great work

Great video, Miranda. 😊

Very Informative as usual.

Thanks teach

It would be nice to see the Canadian data as well.

Summer time is coming and rates will go up. 🤙

Thanks for bringing to us your analysis! Blessings!

LEEEETTTSSSGOOOOO THANK U!!!!

Best trucking channel, always good info.

Awesome vid as always! Does the RPM include fuel surcharge?

Looking at patterns I see where the most people moved to are Texas and Florida. This also where people with money or alot of consumers and better state economy. So basically the two states with the best economy and cost of living are Texas number one and Florida number 2 but they're basically neck n neck

nice

Thank you beautiful

Great content, thanks. I'm wondering if you could do a video comparing truckstop to DAT. I personally like Truckstop but have both. Not so much comparing the load boards, but whats on them and what they say about the market. Do they mirror each other our do they say two different things about capacity and volumes

idk if you heard of HF Transit but they've been getting me really good loads for my reefer

Atlanta GA area is best now a days for DV.

Get ready this slow season will be like no other

Pulling containers from chicago I've seen volumes climb a lot. Since the beginning of May we've been hustling. Hope it stays that way for a few months. Also just a friendly reminder that you're looking lovely as always, and hope you have a great memorial day weekend.

Question? Is there any idea how many Lease OO are leaving the market as they would not be under their own MC#

It might be interesting to ask driver what they named their company and mention one at end of video. It may take some thought to drem up a name for llc so you may get some interesting response??

Is it me, or are things getting better in small increments?😮🎉

❤❤

I think inspection week was nothing but hot air or I was lucky because it seemed like an ordinary week to me.

I do not understand why you would deadhead so far? Can't you find another load nearby for an immediate backhaul? It is important to create efficiencies in your lanes. Deadhead can also be dangerous because an unloaded truck weighs about half as much as a loaded one. When these trucks are not weighed down by a load, they can become HAZARDOUS in inclement weather. So Deadhead is not just costly but also dangerous.

5 units left uncovered this weekend...

It is not looking good In WA.there was a load from WA to KS.1850 miles three pick up wit app. And pays 1600.I said I m not going take this load and someone going take this load.

WOW CNBC said that Happy Days are here again too. Woohoo 😂

👍🤞

I agree, don’t take cheap freight but what do us carriers suppose to do just sit and make nothing? 9/10 if I bid correct price it will not go through because of others cheap carriers. I think now it’s just a waiting game. Not everyone has the luxury to dip into their savings. I have emergency savings but I refuse to dip into that.

What do you mean by rejection and spot markets

La&lb port in California more terrible than last week 😢😢😢

♥♥♥♥

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

What do you mean by rejection...I'm new here so I didn't get it

Preciate your insights. Thanks!

Hi Miranda, I'm bothering you about something. I saw in your previous video about B1 visa type. I am currently 23 years old from Uzbekistan. If I get the type of B1 visa from the Uzbekistan embassy, ​​can you help me change it to another type of visa after I go to America? or to live and work in such a way as to stay there? I am actually writing to you very depressed. I was been in USA 12 years ago. I can't really try other ways. I wanted to go legally, not through Mexico. It has become very difficult for me to live in the city there are many such other things where I live please if you can help me i will try to get b1 visa by queuing from embassy I await your reply? May G-d bless with your works! ❤

If you rely on spot market rates you will not survive. Go get direct shippers and you can get over $3 per mile minimum

Why are you skipping Contract and Spot Rate Difference now adays

Diesel prices going down. Must be election time.

Miranda❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
