The funny thing about this type of freight is that the rates ALWAYS go up when they need to move it.
Sad,isn't it? You would think these idiots would offer a fair rate to carriers that provided them with a good service in other areas and not take advantage of them when they get in a bad area. I have the same philosophy with the ridiculous 1.00pm or less freight. Last month a broker that had a cheap load out of TX wouldn't budge on his rate but was practically begging me to take a load when I was in KS. When I told him my rate he about fell out of his chair. :lol: Business is business I guess. Sad it has to be this way though.
