<p>understand this, i dont care if fuel is 20.00 a gallon if the rates keep up with it who cares?</p><p>anoth er thing, the rates now are really low for the division im in (enclosed cars) the rates aredown by regular freight they should be about 2000 dollars a car maybe a lil more for seattle, wa to new jersey that is the ENCLOSED RATE not the open rate if i put 6 cars in the trailer for that price you can make a good living but the rates are way down due to brokers and other transporters driving the rate down BECAUSE THEY TAKE IT it takes 2 seconds to take a s*** paying car ant it will take 2 years to get the rate back where it should be because when the carrier takes the car aT a low price the shipper knows that we will pay it therefor they get more money and we take a beating thats WHY I WILL NOT HAUL CHEAP FREIGT and you shouldent either dont put something cheap on the trailer just to it covers some of the fuel because you know what ? youre driving the rates down you know what LEAVE THAT S*** SIT THERE they will figure out that if it dont pay good enough it WILL NOT MOVE they put a good rate on it and boom its on the trailer. why is it so hard to get into some peoples heads?</p><p> even if you have to wait an extra day for a good paying load it will be better in the long run </p><p>because with out TRUCKS AMERICA STOPS trains do a little but you cant get that thing up to yhe grocery store can you? </p><p>please take in consideration from what i just said it will payoff in the long run </p><p> <strong>say no to cheap freight!!!</strong><br /> </p>
