Trucking and Freight Market May 30 2024: Training My Competition 

i learn a lot from you and gagnon william, you guys are amazing

I run into that same "criticism" in my side of the industry, as if helping people be better at their jobs is somehow a net negative or would cost me my business and relationships. Never been an issue. The worst thing that happens is you end up working with a larger pool of people good at what they do, many of whom end up recommending you to others. Keep up the good work.

You are helping owner operators with a general insight as to what is going on. Your valuable information should definitely help others. Thanks,

This is a great service you provide. I am sure many do appreciate it.

Thank you, Miranda. Your information is very helpful to us on an operators who are continuing to learn the business. Keep teaching keep educating.

You, and many others, have indeed been training me for almost 6 years now. I've been grinding, hustling, saving, keeping my door closed, my mouth shut, and my ears open. And I'm almost ready to make the jump. I was probably ready 2 years ago, but I was smart enough to know the market would crash and I should wait and keep learning. I've already been your "competition" since I've been in the truck. Working for a semi-private fleet with 2,000 trucks that uses cheap freight for back hauls. They just need to move trucks to specific places to pick up more of their product, they don't care if it's 80 cents a mile as long as it gets the truck from A to B quickly. They make their money buying and selling food, not trucking. So yes, I'll soon be competing with all of you as an owner op, but less so than I am now. If that makes sense. All of us mega carrier drivers are your real competition. Teaching us and giving us the confidence to quit and go out on our own is a net positive for small carriers like yourself.

Keep up the good work

I don’t understand how carriers just accept states like Florida to pay them almost NOTHING to move their freight out of their state. I swear carriers settle for anything.

It's never good to go to New Jersey. I know, I was born and raised there

Honestly I believe you making drivers more knowledgeable is a step to prevent the state of our horrendous market from happening again. Thank you!

Met some KLLM lease drivers yesterday. They're getting $1.60 per mile. Covenant lease I met in Reno, who actually owns his truck, pulling LTL contract freight terminal to terminal is getting $1.80. He was making $0.85 as a company driver on the same account.

Thanks for the update!

Thanks for your insights. Preciate ya!

Thank you for the update Miranda! ))

Another brilliant analysis!

You are a gem 💎, thanks for continuing to be awesome 🤩

Hay Miranda, great video once again.

Your input is what has kept me going, as an I.C. Thank you ❤

Enjoy your knowledge and presentation !!! Amazing job, thanks 👍

Best review on the market. I Always watch your videos for realtime data you provide.

Thank you for taking the time to do these videos. My team and I really appreciate you sharing the data and knowledge. Everyone will always have an opinion but I think there is plenty of room at the TOP for all of us.

Love your show you're great

Happy Thursday Miranda ❤️✨

❤❤❤ THANK YOU ANGEL MIRANDA

I appreciate you so much

I remember I resisted gouging my customers back in 2021. Because we did not increase the rates dramatically, they stayed with us and pay above average rates in the current market. I remember thinking "enjoy the high rates" while you can driver. This market will not last, they never do. I saw drivers dead head away 2000 miles from my loads that paid 2.00 to 2.25. Truck ologists

Thank you.

I have learned so much

Thank you

I work with A LOT of trucking companies. I tell all of them about your channel. Thank you so much for doing this!!! My company is VERY interested in talking with you.

New Owner Opp Here, Let’s Go‼️

Hey letsss goooooo🎉🎉🎉 thank u

Miranda ❣️❣️❣️❣️ Sorry didn’t mean to scream at ya 🤣 Her is looking very well and helping and trying to help 😂 very well as well Thanks 🙏 little lady ❤

Thank you beautiful❤

You say "GO TO H***" to the haters with such grace& class 😂😂😂. Well...90,300 subs later,you clearly are doing justice to alot of us. HATE CAN BE GREAT !!! (sometimes)....

When we used to run cross country ran into florida with horrid rates. Just left empty and would hopscotch back across the country taking higher paying loads and deadheading west. Could usually avg close to 1000 a day which was about double what a florida load would pay. Have to know the general lanes to hit where rates are higher. Make sure deadhead is in the right direction to another good spot. Regional pays better than long haul and home more.

Yes so it looks like you have to plan out as if you were building a railroad track, but I imagine that (maybe) rates change in the intervening days of transit, and one that you thought you had locked up, once you get there, would be gone. I wonder how trains and planes do it. You'd have to be aware of the two way trip and have all that actually secured I guess, I imagine you already know this and its harder in reality. Interesting breakdown. Also I did the calculation for the very first one in cali $7,000 divided by 2,725 mi and the software doesn't round up for the rate per mile, only one cent but different I guess.

I don’t see any comments that say your the cause of the market going down also I never see negative nicknames that you said people gave you

(Refer) Irving TX to Brooklyn NY The Rate was 4.000 is increasing little by little I love your videos 😊

Miranda❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I've noticed fuel going UP!! I've been in the Southwest moving to the South East and seen an increase. HEY... maybe YOU are in control of the fuel prices!! 8-P

❤❤

You need to go into details on taking cheap and how it will change the industry please expound. Carriers like yourself need to learn business and the spot market.

Were the dry van rates the same getting out of NJ as i assume you could use your reefer like dry van?

👍🏼

Drivers set the lane rates, by the rate they negotiate to haul for. 2nd the spot market isn’t no secret.

I appreciate how your presentations are backed with numbers and data. Blows my mind how people's feelings get hurt. Wtf Jeeze! Facts beats feelings. Facts dont give a damn about your goofy feelings. Get over it.

Can you show the data of how many people enter the industry and exit for the week instead of focusing on the net. Thanks.

Please do not listen to these fools. You are speaking reality. Some will never learn.

Only idiots would blame Miranda for what's going on in the industry. I blame Miranda for my eyes being glued to the screen but that's about it.

I feel all those lame mulch loads for flatbed shouldn't be factored. they are seasonal, I feel like on average flat bed is close to 2.8x+ a mile

Ran 4 MC numbers at a truck stop yesterday all of them was inactive how are they still getting work?

There's been good paying loads the last 3 weeks. Better days are coming 👍

for 800 miles added 9gal of water. EGR, are you ok?)

How do you calculate rejection rates?

Everything is past are in realtime. Unless you are already in the areas that are heavier in freight. The information you are sharing is a projection that might help you. I don’t understand the criticism.

Round trip pay isnt that bad

You give to much info out to people that can use it in algorithms

First

What’s the lowest Rate per mile y’all will take? I won’t go under $1.70 for less than 1000 miles and we are staying above $1.30 for anything over 1500 miles. Even if it’s $50 difference I’ll reject 💪🏽🚛

Can you please not mention Ontario ca. thats my lane for last 10 years. Lol 😂 jk lets get these loads. Dallas ontario lane.

So pretty. U gorgeous

Hi I am Dispatcher but i have no carrier i have 1. year experience in this field please help
