You know I was curious as to why 'reefers' make significantly more than dry-van, but after driving a reefer for over a year I now know why. They make more money to compensate for having to sit at shippers and receivers for 5,6,8,10 hours to get loaded and unloaded. Oh yeah, and a tiny fraction for the additional cost of operation...
@@NorthAmerican-Trucking-News Well, I quit the company I was working for, bought my own truck and am now running loads with Landstar (dry-van). Much better situation.
Granted I was a company driver, but, Damnit I'm glad for the ocular stroke that I had three years ago, I so enjoy not having to deal with the Electronic leash and finding somewhere to park in certain areas of the country. Wishing Y'all well from the sidelines.
Sorry to burst the bubble here but the PMI index for June of 2024 has gone down. This means that there are less goods to ship because less are being purchased.. today JB Hunt stock has suffered because of this statistic...
@@JeancTejada so $2.29 is the national average, it’s why I used it. Now, it costs me much less, my equipment are paid for, in good condition, and I don’t have much overhead. I NEED to charge per national average plus labor so if it’s .75 cents that I feel I should get paid for or what have you, therefore ultimately I should be averaging around $3 a mile. Reason why I MUST charge national average plus labor is because things may be going ok for now in my situation NOW but I will need a new engine eventually or a new trailer or what have you. I have already paid for the dues, I have already run for breaking even and even for free, feeding brokers’ families, it’s time now to collect now because bills WILL eventually AGAIN come due. So say as an o/o you have $0 expenses. You do not charge .75 per mile SIMPLY because you are going to make a profit. You charge what your expenses are plus the worth of your time out there.
@@NorthAmerican-Trucking-News- please inform the community on a) the frequency of freight recession b) percentage of single truck o/o that last more than 1 year, 3 year, and 5 year c) do tell the community YOUR rates that you are able to book and run your truck cpm compared to the market/industry.
Love ur videos, quit driving in 95, did mostly refer, flat bed,,,and flatbed wide loads..14 yrs refer...lot of produce....2cyrs flatbed...last company was freymiller, they were one of the first to enter Canada in the early 90 s..sure miss Tim Horton donuts..not sure if thay are the same today
Great after my summer sometime hopefully it will keep rising. Going burn the wind the next months to come. Time to bring my company I work for in some profits
Plenty of owner operators are on stand by ready to drive more if prices are good.. a lot of trucks ready to hit the road again at the moment the rates look profitable... elections are coming.. wont be that soon and easy
It’s your fault to accept that rate….working smarter,not harder. I don’t pull nothing under $2.50 per mile..and that rate is for VAN . I don’t make a lot,but I work a lot less….so less spending on everything.
What about the load getting out of GA paying .80 cents per mile? What is up with this loads? Or brokers Scothlyn transportation? The average per mile makes not sense, because brokers still want to pay crap.
That is one area among many. An average is taken by comparing load rates across the entirety of the US, adding them together and dividing it by the grand number of all the loads. Naturally, this means there are rates below the average, and rates well above the average
TQL has been putting flags on every new carrier's MC does anybody know the reason can you please make video on this or tell us how it can be resolved without TQL it is almost impossible to run a new box truck.
This guy Ronen is a disgrace to trucking industry. Only reason we are going through current freight recession is due to truck over capacity. Too many trucks on the road. At any slightest hint of freight rate recovery, this guy Ronen jumps all in and is telling people to get into trucking…. 🤦🏻♂️
@@basimnadeem1596 I’m a dispatcher and my drivers have box trucks, they make 5 to 7k weekly. If they get a contract, they probably will make half of that. They used to, they quit. It’s better be owner operator.
@@cristiansilva4008if they know how to negotiate, there's no shot they make half that. They also get the benefit of dedicated lanes and consistent work.
You are awesome bro, i like your vids, i like you trying to teach us something, wish u all the best honestly, only thing i would like also is u to test me like, i call you, and like u are the broker, and u give me grade on how i did, on lets on scale from 1-10 how i did talking negotiating and everything, hopefully u see this com, i working as dispatch alsoo 😂😂😂😀😀😀
Thanks for the kind words! We do one-on-one consultations and can facilitate such a conversation. Send us an email to sponsorship@ettransport.ca to book!
@@NorthAmerican-Trucking-News sure will do, i will note that its me, i just need help with OTR where ia the best to roll trucks and how i just started doing it i was nightshift for a year before
Curveball....everyone enters the market and rates crash again.
😂😂😂
Does the solution have to be gatekeeping the rate increase?

Well, also the cost of the trailer is significantly more, +refeer breakdown insurance + refeer diesel.
How has it been for you so far?
@@NorthAmerican-Trucking-News Well, I quit the company I was working for, bought my own truck and am now running loads with Landstar (dry-van). Much better situation.
Pretty much every reefer load i ever had was heavy af. Gotta factor that in too

Still going down from crazy high covid levels. It s just normalizing back to what it was pre covid
JB who?
Never heard about it😂
When it costs $2.29 to operate, how can you run at a profit at $2.10? 🤔
How did you come up with that number? Do you mind breaking down your cost?

Please do not contact @EverythingTruckingRelated, that is not us
Don't be Telling everybody man, then the people are gonna start getting into the business and then the rates will go down again.

Keep up the great work...include tanker division if possible.. thanks

Thanks for sharing!
Its all about capacity!! If more people enter the market, rates will go down again!!!
It's big enough for all of us
Great after my summer sometime hopefully it will keep rising. Going burn the wind the next months to come. Time to bring my company I work for in some profits
Hopefully!
I love you bro I’m in the reefer division
Thanks for watching!
Please make a video on " how to book loads with new MC " and what brokers will work with new MC ?
Hey bro, thank you so much for the information. Can you add some data or Box Truck as well? Much appreciate it. Thank you.
DAT does not provide statistics on that unfortunately
Thanks for the good news!
Great video!!!!
Thanks for watching!
Straight truck info updates would be great
Unfortunately that's not a metric that seems to be tracked
DAT doesn't provide that statistic unfortunately
Plenty of owner operators are on stand by ready to drive more if prices are good.. a lot of trucks ready to hit the road again at the moment the rates look profitable... elections are coming.. wont be that soon and easy
That’s right
I work a lot less and I enjoy my time off anytime I can….this is that time 😂😂😂😂
Not true , 900$ for 600 miles is not 2,10$.
It’s your fault to accept that rate….working smarter,not harder.
I don’t pull nothing under $2.50 per mile..and that rate is for VAN .
I don’t make a lot,but I work a lot less….so less spending on everything.
It's an average, not everyone will earn that average
What about the load getting out of GA paying .80 cents per mile? What is up with this loads? Or brokers Scothlyn transportation? The average per mile makes not sense, because brokers still want to pay crap.

People talked about getting 8-9 mpg with the newer trucks but nobody ever mentions the horse power and gear ratio needed to achieve that.
True enough
Now do Canada and how bad it is.
We're actively looking into it
You never talk about the INTERMODAL division. PORTS AND RAILROADS 😢
Why..that is part railroad
We're only reviewing the data that is made available
Canadian Market is still struggling, Van rates still less then 2$ a miles.
Canada is definitely facing many challenges
TQL has been putting flags on every new carrier's MC does anybody know the reason can you please make video on this or tell us how it can be resolved without TQL it is almost impossible to run a new box truck.
We'll look into this and see what we uncover
$3.16 for fuel in Sioux Falls, SD
3.02 Texas
Thanks for sharing!
Life is so beautiful,working a lot less and keep rates up in my pocket.
Happy to hear it!
@@NorthAmerican-Trucking-News
Got it 😉
Hey Ronen, love your videos. Are you still doing consultations 1 on 1?
Yes we are! Shoot us an email at sponsorship@ettransport.ca to book!
Reefer 2$ fb 2 van 1.6 open dat and truck stop please
Which area are you running in?
how to get TQL red flag removed does anybody know.
That's a predicament, but we'll look into it
I’m assuming this is for the US?
Is there anywhere else?
You're assuming correctly
What’s the average $ for a box truck?
That information is not available on DAT

Hello bro I’m looking for a job cross border truck driver are you guys hiring ? With 2.5 years driving experience and 2 demerit points on my license ?
Where are you located? Are you an owner operator?
@@NorthAmerican-Trucking-News located Toronto looking for company drivers I’m very interested to work professional like ET transportation !!!
Why you don’t talk about box truck? It’s a huge category!
Not huge. In the spot freight market they’re barely anywhere. They’re better off with contracted runs.

Liar
