Whats crazy is I just saw a load posted last night from Texas to Georgia paying $1.50 a mile to the truck and someone hauled it! Are you serious. If people refuse to haul it, the buyers will have no choice but pay the rate needed. I honest to God dont understand how anyone can even survive off a $1.50 a mile. | REPLY REPLY WITH QUOTE |

The brokers are the ones doing this. Caught one two weeks ago trimming .40 off the top and still was going to take his 5%. At a base of 4.00 that would be .58 to the broker. Almost twice what I get paid. Needless to say he didn't get it covered d. Gentleman ended up calling us to haul it and said he was going to pay the broker 4.00. | REPLY REPLY WITH QUOTE |

When I hear 1.50 a mile, I think of SCABS! They are undercutin the whole industry.. Blowing one tire.. There is a whole lot more than tires that can go wrong.,. I hate to think like this but we need a Union.. Where is Jimmy Hoffa when we need him?? I was reading the post on actual costs, and alot of it makes sence.. We calculate distance and fuel average for whichever truck we send, and try to come up with a fair price that makes it worth while, with out trying to beat our selves up too much. Evenwith the new trucks, stuff goes wrong, and we have to eat the shit we are haulin. We keep a couple bull haulers busy for our own needs and load it out a bit here and there, but focus mainly on heavy equipment with detach/ step/ and flatbeds from Kentucky.. Call if you need some thing moved.. 5023306316 |

Has it been that long, since i hauled a load of cattle. I dont think it has, jus thought i wuz dreamin, some of the rates people are wanting some one to haul for , and for every 5 people that refuse to haul the load there is some One that will haul it. Lets see 3.00,3.30,3.40 and some flat rates around 1550. for 900 plus miles. I know the peek season is jus bout here, and boy am i ever glad. Maybe i can finally get to haulin some cattle maybe the rates will be like they should. The rate wuz 3.75 last year and fuel has gone up since than (at least where i get it at) The only loads i see at 4.00 /mile is the loads coming out of the west coast. Jus wanted to hope everyone is makin plenty of money. GOD BLESS AMERICA & GOD BLESS JOHN WAYNE HAPPY TRAILS PARDNER |

Ok, there is another load posted on the load board, Lexington Texas to Augusta Georgia. $1600 flat. REALLY! Its 1,011 miles......$1.57 a mile.....WHY ARE PEOPLE HAULING THIS???? I just dont understand anymore how anyone can justify loading that on their truck. There is no backhauls in the cattle business. We dont have freight lanes. When are people going to grow a set and just say NO! | REPLY REPLY WITH QUOTE |

I actually laughed out loud when I read that. The only thing I could think was that it was a few steers to be hauled by a pickup truck, LOL!! |

I run a pickup and gooseneck hauling for some small producers in northern IL and i would have laughed at that rate. I get more than that on a running mile pulling someone elses trailer. ( when they break down) There are to many people doing it with little trucks up here without all the proper permits and authority doing it to cheap. Right now i'm running 3.25 a loaded mile for floor loads. 3.5 a loaded mile for decked loads and $100 minium to leave the house. and that is with a pickup getting 9mpg. It has to be 3.5 a mile before i even consider starting the semi. |

I see these loads posted coming out of Texas,Ark,Kansas,and etc goin east to Ga paying bout 1.65 ish and you question them and they tell you that it pays backhaul rate. Then you reload in Ga,Fla , and I see them posted goin back west to Neb , Kansas payin 3.00 a mile. The full rate that I'm aware of is around 3.75 - 3.95 , so I'm jus wonderin is that a backhaul both ways. I understand to cut down on empty miles, and avg cost per mile , if we always haul for bkh rate, Then it want be long before they all are goin want to pay that rate. So lets stick to our guns And do what's best for the cattle haulin industry. GOD BLESS AMERICA AND GOD BLESS JOHN WAYNE HAPPY TRAILS |

What they don't seem to understand is that there is no such thing as a backhaul. You're backhaul is my head haul and vice versa. When you haul loads for the so called back haul rate you're not only cutting your own throat but also that of your brother truckers. Truckers and trucking companies in general need to wake up and stop being a bunch of scabs. Van haulers are the worse but it seems to be creeping in to the livestock business. WAKE UP FOLKS! |

Whats bad is the shipper can usually afford to pay the higher rate. It makes me mad to hear them say that they are not making any money sitting in their new 50,000 pickup in front of their 500,000 house. Everybody needs to make a good living. Let those cattle stand until they have to pay a good rate. You might miss a bad load but maybe in time it will be a good load. | REPLY REPLY WITH QUOTE |

You all talk about the cheap rate of hauling livestock. That the Shipper's are sitting in their $50,000 dollar Pick-ups with his/her $500,000 dollar homes. Not all Rancher's have these luxuries. Like Trucker's, and Trucking companies these people have Overhead expenses. In today's Market, and with the rise in feed cost, and his/her bill's,property taxes,and such. This is one reason for the low paying rates to haul their livestock. Today it is harder for the rancher's to make end's meet. Just like many people in this Country. I drove OTR for 22 years,and grew up in the trucking industry. I have heard driver's on the radio complaining about the low rates paid to haul freight,or livestock. Many factor's over the years have contributed to the demise of the rate. just as Insurance companies now run the Trucking Industry. Instead of complaining about the thing's that bother you. Take a lesson from the Pioneer's of this business, and learn to stand up for yourselves. Learn to say NO!. The companies have Bullied the driver's into submission of fearing for his/her job.So they bow down to the threats of the lose of their job's.The industry cries Driver Shortage. Just as in any job. There is another one down the road. Remember people will always need their food,and other basic necessities to live life. So Truck drivers will alway's be needed. | REPLY REPLY WITH QUOTE |
