  • There are good and bad news in trucking this week:
    Good news: volumes are higher than in 2023, so there is no demand problem, and diesel prices are on their way down.
    Bad news: rejections are still low, and rates are still crappy.

    We work for a mega carrier but its not a public company. Based on the slow down in M&A and what I can see, we will withstand this storm just fine. They have stopped buying new equipment, cut bad contracts, trimmed out the lower producing drivers, sold property and equipment and focused in on their core businesses. Makes me proud. Thanks for all the valuable insight into the current market!

    Thorough and informative as always, Miranda. If you say things are great you’ll get criticized for wearing rose colored glasses. If you say things aren’t good, you’re being too negative. Take the shallow criticism with a grain of salt and keep on doing what you’re doing!😉

    I was complaining to the company I lease with about them continuing to hire new drivers when they don't have enough miles for the ones they have and they told me they were on a hiring freeze so I called a recruiter and pretended to be a driver looking for work and the recruiter said there was no hiring freeze so I called them out on it and they tried to back track and said what they meant was they are only hiring experienced drivers no rookies then on Tuesday I was at our dallas terminal and there was 8 ppl in the orientation class and almost all were rookies right out of school, the lies are thick with these ppl.

      My guy, look up the word "attrition".... Basically, you calling them out means nothing. They still have to plan on losing drivers in this market, so they need to always have warm bodies to fill the seats at the "experienced" ones quit... If that annoys you, then open your own company and do it your way

    Volume at 2023 and rates are at 2019…..never mind inflation.
    And all those little vans and little box trucks or pickup trucks carrying cars etc….all those are required to have MC numbers but they have nothing in common with regular carriers that pulls freight as a CDL A carrier for example…but they are into those public data….and they probably count as regular carriers
