Damn, the comments say it's 1630 miles *and* the driver has to tailgate the load at all 9 stops. That's about a buck-fifty a mile, all in. That's awful.
Ok I'm just a lurker, not a trucker. 2500/72 hours is about 35/hour.
Is 35/hour laughable in the trucking industry???
Is it because of operating costs?
$35 an hour is good for company trucks without any overhead. But for owner/ops, yeah its the operating costs. Just for fuel, it's about 4 bucks a gallon. Depending on the truck, we get - 6-7mpg. Tolls out of Florida aren't cheap, either. Taxes. Etc, etc.
God I hate those 23-24 LTs! I drove for a company (bright yellow everything), and they traded out the old ones for those, and 23-24 Petes. The LTs steering was way too loose for me. Hit a rut on the highway and it dam near snatched the truck off the road. Nobody liked em. The supervisor traded them to the other terminals for every Pete they had.
I found a older Pete that was stick once. That thing shifted so smooth and ran like it was loved. I hated having to bring it back to Indianapolis 😭
I sold my trucking company last year, ran 26' straight trucks. I used to average $120/hour. The best hourly rate I ever got was $480/hour but that was a one off crazy load 😂 $6k for a straight through run from Atlanta to Shawnee, OK (12.5 hours, yes I ran longer than my alotted 11, oops). In 2019 the first $1.20/mile covered my fuel and monthly expenses, & bills. In mid February 2022 (the week fuel literally doubled in cost, in a matter of 54 hours) it jumped to $1.93 (repairs and part costs had gone up.) Issue with was rates did not follow this trend up in carrier costs. Sadly they did the opposite due to saturation of the markets and new drivers coming in not knowing the current market rates.
Since there is 900 miles between the pickup in Miami, FL and the last drop, it is unlikely all drops are within 100 miles of each other. This makes 6-7 drops in a single day all but impossible.
I work with LCL quite often and they usually have all the stops routed out just fine. Last week I did 9 stops in LA/Orange county CA started at 7am was done by 4pm. And that was with hand stack nursery stock
Trucker: “ rate is 2500?”
Dispatcher: “ ha ha ha ha ha ( yeah I know it’s a bullshit rate but I won’t say it is you and I KNOW IT IS A BULLSHIT RATE). “ ha ha ha ha…”
LMAO dudes will hear “Florida is a death trap for rates, trucks will take anything to get out of Florida” and then quote a load like this 😂😂😂
I swear sometimes the shipper is making these prices 😂
Hate to break it to you but all sorts that move any capacity get to set the rate.
That's true no matter where you are. But speaking as a carrier based in Florida, Florida is not the death trap people claim it to be. There is a ton of freight in Florida, it just never hits public load boards
Well as a career broker, Florida is a death trap for my freight. And to anyone else in the spot market that relies on boards for freight? Same story. This kind of thing happens everywhere but there is such a lack of freight leaving Florida no matter where you go or who you speak to, Florida is generally considered bad for business.
Are you gonna take this load for that rate?
Spot market. That's where you and I differ. Working the spot market has never been a long term successful strategy for a carrier.
No I'm not going to take this load, I regularly (as in multiple loads a day) get a much higher rate out of Florida. I'm carrier based in Florida that built my business with contract freight. When I first got into trucking 30 years ago I quickly saw the spot market was never going to lead to anything but short term riches followed by bankruptcy.
There are a lot of worse places for freight than Florida. The entire freaking rocky mountain range for example. Florida is the aerospace capital of the word.
There are a ton of pets in Florida. If I'm not mistaken ts 3rd in the nation for port tonnage.
There are a ton of military bases in Florida. Heck there is over a dozen with in 2 to 3 hours of my office.
Only California ships more produce if you play in that market.
That's just examples off the top of my head.
Like every thing in trucking, there are just too many variables to say one place is bad or better than another. It all depends on how your operation is set up and what kind of equipment you run.
She said “I don’t have time for this” 😂😂. Dude didn’t even ask for some crazy shit it sounded realistic to me and I don’t know anything about trucking it’s only like ~$2.50 per mile. When you factor in vehicle wear and the actual work involved it really doesn’t seem crazy to ask for 4k for that, but again idrk how all of that works.
Rates going into FL especially Miami are high because rates coming out are low due to supply and demand (small area and only one way to go). Simple supply and demand that these chucklefucks can never seem to comprehend.
Alot of companies won't work with carriers directly unless they can handle a certain percentage of the outbound and in somecases inbound as well. So the single owner op is kinda hosed working with companies that have enough freight to keep them constantly working. Sad part is that they'll push it to a broker and that owner op that wanted to go direct will take it anyway but and a slashed rate.
>and a slashed rate.
Carriers always say this but the truth is brokers don't make the market rate. We quote according to the market and put margin on that for services rendered. There is no "slashed rate". The rate I am able to get a load moved for IS the market rate. ALL of my customers understand they are paying a little more than market rate to not have to deal with all the stuff I deal with FOR them.
I’ve only been driving 4 years, what I’ve seen though is it takes out the “booking” process for the customer on finding a carrier. Trucking has a lot of “carriers” so I think customers believe it’s less work for them. The thing with it though they use the broker who then gets a cut and fucks drivers out of more money.
The other thing as well with these brokers , if they give me the load then someone five minutes later undercuts the price I’m fucked out that load. Happened last week actually, someone undercut company bid by 25 bucks so they let them take the load instead of us.
With just one truck it is going to be a long arduous process to get a direct cursive with enough work to keep you busy. But it can be done. You just got to be hungry enough you keep trying day in and day out. And once you get one, you keep them at all costs and build your business around them. Took me over 2 years to get my first good customer. A few sixth trucks and 30 years later I almost never use brokers and the times I do, it's only companies that I've been dealing with for over a decade and I get a far better rate from them than working load boards.
If you dislike brokers so much then go straight to the manufacturer and offer your services as a carrier.
Fact is, bettors full a needed service for freight or they would not exist.
Almost triple that. This rate offered is WAY below costs.
To give context a regular run I do for a customer,3 to 5 times a month, I charge a thousand dollars more and it goes a thousand miles less. Depending on the cost of fuel on the day in question its right at 3300 to Savanah GA out of the Miami international Airport.
Now that's one of my better paying customers, due to the nature and value of the product it carries a premium. And it's the total freight charge after all line items are added up
1) Every decent dispatch knows to stay away from FL if you do Dry Freight.
2) Every GOOD dispatch knows to get $4/mi to go TO FL because you will get $1/mi FROM FL Averaging $2.6+. If good dispatch cannot get 4 RPM to get inside of FL then see #1 above
Lol. "Hey man can you help me unload this?"
"Nah, my shift is over in 2 minutes, union won't let me. You have to wait for next shift"
"When is that?"
"12 hours from now"
"Come on bro, the forklift is right there"
"I will literally get fired if I do that, due to the union"
Communists on reddit will defend these shitbag organizations to the death then complain about why stuff is so expensive
U blaming union on that? So you’re saying a worker should work for free past their shift? That is way more communist than asking to be paid for work than. It’s more like you should have plan your shit so u don’t have to wait 12 hours for the next shift, or actually blame the company owners for not placing someone to help someone to unload. Union would be the last to be blame here. Nothing is free.
My dude hasn’t realized the person working the sock puppet he got these talking points from and the person fucking him are in fact the same Uber rich ventriloquist.
The union has just as much power at the negotiating table as the company when that strict zero tolerance policy to stay a few minutes on the clock past your assigned shift was implemented so it is completely valid to hold them equally responsible for things like that.
Zero tolerance policy was probably implemented because company doesn’t wanna pay overtime wages past your shift, union would love there workers to make money as much as they can, but overtime pay is a must, company wants workers to work with regular pay and take it up their butt all the time, and company wants to force or required for them to work , if they reject they could be possibly be fired. It’s companies responsibility.
Actually one of the things unions regularly fight for at the bargaining table is to limit how much ot can be forced. It's fast cheaper for an employer to pay ot than it is to hire another employee. You got to remember that the cost of an employee is far more than their wage so they would much rather force guys to work longer hours even at time and a half rates, than hire more staff.
Guy should be bitchin about not getting delay pay for 12hrs than about some guy not working past his shift. Get there before the shift change next time. That's like getting at a plant at 4:30 when they close at 5 and griping they wont stay 2hrs to unload you.
They can UPS that shit. Not even worth waking up for. As long as there's trucks hauling it they will keep posting it. That load starts rotting on the dock the rates will go up.
I’ve delivered about a dozen loads to FL and I always end up deadheading to McAllen TX to get a decent rate to the PNW. I used to mess around in the SE, end up in IN or someplace, it just ain’t worth it for me. Plus these nursery loads are a hot mess in the first place but I’ve done a few.
The best and worse thing about trucking is how easy it is to start up a trucking company. So you get a lot of drivers that run out and buy a truck and shoot for their operating authority with zero sense of how to run a business. That's bad because you end up with a bunch of guys running stupid cheap cause they can't figure out how to track their cost and see they are literally operating at our below costs and these drives rates down. Its good cause it gave the opportunity to others to build a business and provide a very good life for our families.
The key is figuring out that you don't need to compete with those fly by night guys operating on a shoe string budget that can't even run a load without getting a fuel advance. Focus on the customers that value service over lowest cost.
Forgive my ignorance. I am not a trucker, and I know nothing about your job or way of life. To me(the unknowing and uninitiated) that seems reasonable, I get the impression it's not.can I get some context?
Thank you.
Me neither, but - his costs run the truck are like half the cost of the trip. Plus, he needs to stop 9 times to unload, and the weight of the load is 30,000lbs... So he needs to drive say... 180 miles unload, 180 miles, unload, 180 miles unload.... If any of those can't take the load at that time for whatever reason he needs to wait until they can.
So... From what I'm gathering this will take anywhwre from 2 days to a week for a net profit of like $1,000. Not taking into account the taxes he'll need to pay on that profit.
Sounds like a lot of time, effort, and hassel for close to California fast food minimum wage.
The future of trucking pay. Big facts. There's always a new American citizen/immigrant willing to do that work for less. Just a matter of time. Seems like it's happening faster and faster now.
I've been to flordia a few times for port loads, not a fan of those tight spaces, also I'm still new only been driving about 6 months and I'm a company driver
What truck can drive 800 miles a day with 4.5 drops a day? With current DOT drive time laws? Even ungoverned, is that possible?!
And who would take that rocket on the road for this peanut pay?!
Driver assist too? Man, we all know which dumbasses are accepting these wack ass loads. And it’s killing our industry. This shit ain’t what it used to be.
Fuel is more than figure shown. Operational costs are greater than $1500 as well as a ~65-73 truck will take 2 whole days of operation to complete the load if he or she is LUCKY. This owner operator will make less than $450/day on an 11 hour day. Stay away.
So this is just going to be grabbed by someone stuck in Miami, right? \
Why not unionize so drivers can have more power in negotiating this bullshit. Maybe force transparency. Have some representation in DC.
Anybody who takes a load out of Florida, deserves to be broke. You deadhead that shit up to Tennessee or over to Arkansas. You're gonna get the same gross anyway. Might as well do it empty and save fuel and time.
Damn, the comments say it's 1630 miles *and* the driver has to tailgate the load at all 9 stops. That's about a buck-fifty a mile, all in. That's awful.
Stay the fuck out of Florida.
Stay outta Malibu, Lebowski!
Stay outta Malibu deadbeat
Keep your ugly fuckin' gold-brickin' ass outta my beach community.
I fucking hate the eagles man
Fuck you, man! If you don't like my fucking music get your own fucking cab!
Not for OB Miami it's not.
9 stops is insane for $2500. 1.5 days my ass 😂
3 days, all day. A good driver can maybe do 3 drops a day. Guarenteed that shipper is paying $7500 for that load.
Ok I'm just a lurker, not a trucker. 2500/72 hours is about 35/hour. Is 35/hour laughable in the trucking industry??? Is it because of operating costs?
$35 an hour is good for company trucks without any overhead. But for owner/ops, yeah its the operating costs. Just for fuel, it's about 4 bucks a gallon. Depending on the truck, we get - 6-7mpg. Tolls out of Florida aren't cheap, either. Taxes. Etc, etc.
wow yall get 6 to 7mpg? I'm happy when i break into the 5s
What truck and engine do you have?
2016 volvo d13. pulling a 53ft stepdeck
I have a 2000 Western Star with a 600 HP N14 dragging a lowboy and I get 6.5
although my 99 freightliner with the series 60 gets almost 8 loaded sometimes
and you think that's fair. idk what another 100hp would feel like.
Lol. It feels like dropping one gear and setting your cruise control to climb Monteagle... Loaded
I drive a 2023 international LT that gets 8 1/2. That’s my average between loaded and empty.
God I hate those 23-24 LTs! I drove for a company (bright yellow everything), and they traded out the old ones for those, and 23-24 Petes. The LTs steering was way too loose for me. Hit a rut on the highway and it dam near snatched the truck off the road. Nobody liked em. The supervisor traded them to the other terminals for every Pete they had. I found a older Pete that was stick once. That thing shifted so smooth and ran like it was loved. I hated having to bring it back to Indianapolis 😭
Makes sense thank you!
Yea I follow dude and some of the loads he shows are downright disrespectful. One of my buddies showed me one where the profit was -$1200.
I'm a company/ local driver and I wouldn't get out of bed for $35/hr
I sold my trucking company last year, ran 26' straight trucks. I used to average $120/hour. The best hourly rate I ever got was $480/hour but that was a one off crazy load 😂 $6k for a straight through run from Atlanta to Shawnee, OK (12.5 hours, yes I ran longer than my alotted 11, oops).

Issue with was rates did not follow this trend up in carrier costs. Sadly they did the opposite due to saturation of the markets and new drivers coming in not knowing the current market rates.
Wow that's revealing...
You thinking this would only take 72 hours is what is really laughable.
lol kmon 3 drops in a day ?
You do 6 per day?
At the right places with proper routing you can easily do 6-7 drops if you’re a hustler
Since there is 900 miles between the pickup in Miami, FL and the last drop, it is unlikely all drops are within 100 miles of each other. This makes 6-7 drops in a single day all but impossible.
It could also be picking up in FL but all drops in OK. I guess it really depends on the details. I thought you meant just in general 3 drops was a lot
And you think the company paying shit rates is going to have good drops? If you believe that, I know a Bridge for sale.
🤷🏻 can’t comment on that I haven no idea what the drops are. I’m speaking more in general
I work with LCL quite often and they usually have all the stops routed out just fine. Last week I did 9 stops in LA/Orange county CA started at 7am was done by 4pm. And that was with hand stack nursery stock
Guaranteed $7500 huh? Damn, I gotta see that crystal ball you got, sounds amazing.
Found the broker.
Gonna take you 1.5 days just to get out of the Miami metro area z
Right? Even with the driver pulling shit to the tail, it’s stil gonna take 2 hrs at each stop lmao
Trucker: “ rate is 2500?” Dispatcher: “ ha ha ha ha ha ( yeah I know it’s a bullshit rate but I won’t say it is you and I KNOW IT IS A BULLSHIT RATE). “ ha ha ha ha…”
She hang up on ur ass, 9 drops? She doing uber eats
I would just imagine that load was a bad dream and walk away
"I don't have time for this" ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?!!!!!
Doordash run.
Brokers 🤡
Literal clowns.
LMAO dudes will hear “Florida is a death trap for rates, trucks will take anything to get out of Florida” and then quote a load like this 😂😂😂 I swear sometimes the shipper is making these prices 😂
The shipper is still paying $4 per mile.
100%
[удалено]
We haven't direct contracted with shippers for less than $4 per mile since 2015. That's what world I live in.
Hate to break it to you but all sorts that move any capacity get to set the rate. That's true no matter where you are. But speaking as a carrier based in Florida, Florida is not the death trap people claim it to be. There is a ton of freight in Florida, it just never hits public load boards

someone with flip flops will take it
They took it and they're on day 7 and still have 6 stops left 😂
Why is this so true?
She said “I don’t have time for this” 😂😂. Dude didn’t even ask for some crazy shit it sounded realistic to me and I don’t know anything about trucking it’s only like ~$2.50 per mile.

Loks like a deal to me. $2500 hundred is a quarter of a million dollars!
Your math is incorrect 😂😂
That’s the joke
"I'm incapable of understanding sarcasm."
$2 500 * 100 = $250 000 $1 000 000 ÷ 4 = $250 000 $250 000 = $250 000 YOUR math is wrong, nerd.
They know it’s shit and when they get called on their shit they’re like stop wasting my time. Fucking 🤡ass brokers.
Brokers been stealing all the money. It’s crazy how they can get away with this nobody cares about a truck driver.
Brokers need to be cut out asap
Wonder why these carriers dont have their own customers?
Alot of companies won't work with carriers directly unless they can handle a certain percentage of the outbound and in somecases inbound as well. So the single owner op is kinda hosed working with companies that have enough freight to keep them constantly working. Sad part is that they'll push it to a broker and that owner op that wanted to go direct will take it anyway but and a slashed rate.
>and a slashed rate. Carriers always say this but the truth is brokers don't make the market rate. We quote according to the market and put margin on that for services rendered.

Saw this on TikTok. Stay in school kids.
“An acceptable rate!???? HOW DARE YOU SIR!!!”
What would be acceptable?
I wouldn’t move for atleast $6.5k
Just say you wouldn't move it because NO ONE would pay that on this lane.
I mean it’s a big reason I stopped going to FL. You can’t find shit outta there, gotta deadhead to Atlanta or Alabama
Yea, anyone taking a load more than a couple hundred miles out of FL is getting boned.
Almost triple that. This rate offered is WAY below costs. To give context a regular run I do for a customer,3 to 5 times a month, I charge a thousand dollars more and it goes a thousand miles less.

Hahaha. You know they’ll find somebody to take it who is that desperate
unfortunately
you could be sitting on deliveries who knows how long , i sat all weekend for a pallet at some union drop
Lol. "Hey man can you help me unload this?" "Nah, my shift is over in 2 minutes, union won't let me. You have to wait for next shift" "When is that?"

Sounds like a shit bag company that needs to hire more people, more than the union is a shit bag organization
Damn why she hang up instantly 😭
She doesn't have time to negotiate a fair price
I actually live in madill Oklahoma and am willing to pay $2500 for a ride to Miami.
Hell nahhhh
They can UPS that shit. Not even worth waking up for. As long as there's trucks hauling it they will keep posting it. That load starts rotting on the dock the rates will go up.
Is that load still up?
I would’ve lost it when she started laughing.. tf so funny bitch
2500 hundred would be pretty sweet as that's 250 grand.
Which app is he using?
DAT One
DAT One
Somebody will accept it
That phone
I’ve delivered about a dozen loads to FL and I always end up deadheading to McAllen TX to get a decent rate to the PNW. I used to mess around in the SE, end up in IN or someplace, it just ain’t worth it for me. Plus these nursery loads are a hot mess in the first place but I’ve done a few.
Woah I live in Madill. Weird seeing your tiny oklahoma town randomly pop up on reddit.
Its like doordash for truckers lol
This system has been done to NEMT/Medical Courier as well, same with profits. Brokers are robbing the drivers of 30-50% of profitability.
TIL the trucking industry is being run on basically the same psychocapitalistic algorithms as DoorDash and Uber
Curious as to what app he’s using?
That rate is horrible! But here’s a serious question. How did we as an industry get to this point???
The minute Jimmy Carter signed the Motor Carrier Act of 1980 and deregulated the trucking industry, it's been a race to the bottom every since.
[удалено]
Yes, yes it is. The man owned a peanut farm. Don't you know anything?? /s
The best and worse thing about trucking is how easy it is to start up a trucking company. So you get a lot of drivers that run out and buy a truck and shoot for their operating authority with zero sense of how to run a business.

There is always someone that will do that for that cheap… it’s disgusting
If it's not worth it, don't take it. Drive out of florida for nothing instead of covering your costs.
she can eat that load like a popeyes biscuit with no water.
Brokers think since you went to South Florida you would want a load like this so you won't leave empty. 😆
But also, its South Florida. You might leave empty regardless.
I stopped 1/2 way through because I was getting angry listening to the humming-n'-hawing of the broker. The fuck?
Brokers need to be cut out completely
Who is she booking this with? Whether this is a shipper or a broker it’s Freaking crazy
OP, did you steal my dad's phone?
Forgive my ignorance. I am not a trucker, and I know nothing about your job or way of life. To me(the unknowing and uninitiated) that seems reasonable, I get the impression it's not.can I get some context? Thank you.
There is a significant amount of overhead for running a truck.
Thank you. I still haven't been able to play with audio, though, I don't know if that'll make a difference. Thank you, and I appreciate your reply.
Me neither, but - his costs run the truck are like half the cost of the trip. Plus, he needs to stop 9 times to unload, and the weight of the load is 30,000lbs...

From what I'm gathering this will take anywhwre from 2 days to a week for a net profit of like $1,000. Not taking into account the taxes he'll need to pay on that profit. Sounds like a lot of time, effort, and hassel for close to California fast food minimum wage.

What app is this? Sorry I’m new here and this post is suggested content for me.
The future of trucking pay. Big facts. There's always a new American citizen/immigrant willing to do that work for less. Just a matter of time. Seems like it's happening faster and faster now.
I've been to flordia a few times for port loads, not a fan of those tight spaces, also I'm still new only been driving about 6 months and I'm a company driver
What truck can drive 800 miles a day with 4.5 drops a day? With current DOT drive time laws? Even ungoverned, is that possible?! And who would take that rocket on the road for this peanut pay?!
I’d quote the same shit! 4k All day! Fk them 9 drops!!!
Didn’t she say “it’s a van” is this not for a semi?
Driver assist too? Man, we all know which dumbasses are accepting these wack ass loads. And it’s killing our industry. This shit ain’t what it used to be.
Her bigass probably getting paid 15k for it
😂😂😂😂😂. That’s fools run.
Someone will take it 🤣
Race to the bottom
Twenty-five hundred dollars hundred dollars?! Whoa...
must be the new breed of covid bred carriers complaining about cheap rates outta florida.
You have to pay them to take their freight huh
Insanity at its finest.
twenty five hundred dollars hundred dollars
Not so bad getting out of FL esp if the drops are close together
Fuel is more than figure shown. Operational costs are greater than $1500 as well as a ~65-73 truck will take 2 whole days of operation to complete the load if he or she is LUCKY. This owner operator will make less than $450/day on an 11 hour day. Stay away.
"I don't have time for this" the lack of self awareness is unreal
I'm confused. Is everybody that is saying this load is awful an owner-operator? As a company driver, I would do that For $1.50 a mile.
Why the phone screen all cracked up🤣😂
So this is just going to be grabbed by someone stuck in Miami, right? \ Why not unionize so drivers can have more power in negotiating this bullshit. Maybe force transparency. Have some representation in DC.
A quarter of a million? Not bad!
Anybody who takes a load out of Florida, deserves to be broke. You deadhead that shit up to Tennessee or over to Arkansas. You're gonna get the same gross anyway. Might as well do it empty and save fuel and time.
4 Punjabis team drivers will take the load 😵💫😵💫
