Pretty tough all over the country! Be honest with you, unless you are going to be a route driver, pull for Amazon or have something dedicated, I don't see you doing any better in any other sector right now.

Your not the only one.. the problem is we got 4 brokers feeding 4 familys off of one load and damn near every load! If you look at your bol and who actually bought the load you get a good rate. But the problem with only 1 truck is you may only get to their area 2 times a month so half the time they would rather have reliant or rfg take 15% to 30% if not more so they can pay their internet and phone bill to call you 30 times to check on the load but can't seam to answer the phone when they owe you detion. and be home every night by 5:30without wasteing how many countless hours trying to load and unload then you get stuck driveing most the night just trying to get your next load the following day without pissing the week away When 2 months of oil changes for 1 truck coast more then their hole dam year of expenses do... f*** every broker that takes anything more then 8% and you should get a real job or try driveing a truck for a day and I'll sit in your office chair 8 to 5 with a hour lunch.

There are some good brokers out there! I know a lot and also know which ones to stay away from. Thing about the load board is that is should only be used as a last resort. Yes, occasionally you can find a good load on here, BUT most of the time it is the stuff that is left over from the local carriers that is sent to the vulchers. Hang in there! Things will get better, I promise! I have seen this many times before and it always turns around. Good times and bad will come in the future, just make hay when the times are good and put some away for when the times go to crap. We just need to keep pushing on and ride out the storm! This too shall pass. Stay positive and know your numbers. Stay above your break even point and you will stay afloat until the time comes when we are all happy with rates and work is abundant! Good luck and god bless!

Government gave everyone a big pile of money during the plandemic, some would even say that government bought your equipment for you, and yet everyone is struggling? So either everyone out here really sucks at business or the market is broken, witch is it?

Personally, I got very little Covid money. I made too much money prior to the pandemic, and didn't feel right applying for a handout just for doing my job.

" Twenty seven months of declining rates is only the beginning of what’s coming, a good share of truckers who got government loans during the Scamdemic are already out of business, not mention all the non trucking entities, none of that money will ever be paid back, it will become a bigger debt bomb than the student loan crisis, how many of those guys who spent 200k on a thirty year old Beaterbilt are still around? The theory about the ELD improving rates has been proven false, what’s interesting is the highest paid people in trucking don’t even drive a truck, they are sitting in a office at the ATA, and their pay continues to go up as everyone else’s goes down.
