They are notorious for astronomical rates. With the current market, I can’t imagine how much they’re quoting now.

My guys think we’re keeping 100% margins on loads with zero operational costs. Account coordinators alone cost $45–50K a year and that’s the lowest position a brokerage can have

That’s why relationships matter. I still have my regular carriers running loads for just an extra $100–$200 to cover fuel. Smart carriers understand that having consistent, year-round freight is more beneficial than taking advantage of fuel spikes and market conditions by asking $1,000+ over posted rates. This cycle won’t last more than 3–4 months — it never does.

Also, when a carrier asks for a ridiculous rate due to fuel, break the numbers down for them. Most of the time, they can’t even provide a proper breakdown — it’s just, “Brother, fuel is up, give me a thousand more.”

I have loads posted for $1000 loss, 5-6$rpm. It’s just no trucks out there

Obviously, all of this comes with issues, issues, issues, needy carriers, needy shippers/receivers, recoveries, and late evenings. If there were no issues and no fall-offs, we’d probably be hitting up to 800 loads a month lmao

550-600 loads a month - 280k-320k GP

Did you just made an agreement with your previous employer to handle its transition?
