We recommend brokers and shippers post rates with loads on the board but with a rate posted we have found it to be a race to the bottom with it becoming an auction instead of a negotiation. With the capacity of carriers still being quite high compared to the need you will see this hurt rates. We’d love to continue this conversation and explore solutions together. That’s why we’re inviting shippers, brokers, and carriers to the upcoming Bulk Freight Conference, where we’ll be discussing this very issue. It’s a great opportunity to connect, share concerns, and work toward solutions that benefit the entire community.
