Cheap Freight of the day

TQL has done it again - posting ON to MB dry tandem with a $ in the comments.

Emails back and says "My broker literally has $2377.50USD on this we can give you it as long as you provide tracking" this is not even 3200cad.

He better tell his broker not to be an idiot and quote so low. I would of went back to them at 3k US or whatever your needed number is and said guess your taking a loss live and learn.

I quoted 3100usd originally and the 2377.50usd is what he came back with. Since carriers can work with TQL with new authorities I can see how they keep moving the loads for so low. This one however is still on the board until a desperate carrier takes what they can get...

I guess the good part it saves them from getting a bunch of phone calls when they post the rate. If a carriers feels it to low dont call them.

18 days since the last cheap freight of the day post..... I'm curious, who's seen the cheapies or the cheapest and ugliest freight so far this month?

Not being active on LL, I unfortunately don't see some of the wonderful examples previously captured by other members. I'm left to read this thread for my daily fix.... the "jones" is real!

These brokers who think trucks run on oxygen and not diesel. Makes me wonder what the owner of the freight is actually paying for a load like this... Would be brutal to find out the receiver in Markham organized the load, and paid a broker $3000 for the run.

In these cases, I wonder is the broker greedy, or the freight owner cheap? or a combo of both?

Somebody knows, they just don't care. It's all fine to say "don't take the freight" but sometimes you're over a barrel. You can keep your driver waiting for 3 days, pay 3 layovers and take a load for a "good" rate but then you lose it on paying layovers and also on lost revenue for the next outbound load you can't do cause your driver is sitting waiting.

Run him home empty you are better off in the long run. Someone was to offer me a 600 rate from WI to GTA the driver would be in the wind riding home empty and the reason. If i am going to go broke it will not be from hauling shit just because that is all there was. The broker and all involved should be ashamed to even offer the rate and if a customer was behind it tell him to haul his own shit. If we carrier do not take a stand why would the rate ever increase. Say no to cheap freight.
