That is the very reason rates are so low. I understand that it isn't your fault that you must haul cheap freight, but if those who continue hauling these crappy loads refuse to put them on their truck then rates will rise. They will have to rise or the load will sit. That would be the best thing for a carrier to do. Originally Posted by Malaki86

Same goes for a lot of our o/o's - they're looking to either sell out completely or switch carriers.
My guess is that if they leave and go to another carrier things won't be much better, if at all. Carriers large and small are having problems finding decent paying freight.
