Cheap Freight of the day

I wanted to check if there are any updates regarding Fortus group out of Brossard Montreal as we’ve noticed some inconsistencies with their bookings. They keep reserving our truck but then cancel because their customer isn’t ready. However, they continue reposting the load on Loadlink and then attempt to rebook with us at a lower rate.
Could anyone provide any insight on this?

Looking for cheaper rates.

Right now, outbound is paying $$$.

If they are cancelling on you after booking, they found a better rate
 
Where are all the trucks so many load so little trucks
Garbage carriers opened by the thousands during Covid to get rich. Then they folded due to oversaturation and running freight for a buck a mile. Now there's a shortage, and it's gonna get pricey.

Edit: Also all the "students" (Driver Inc) from India are getting sent back home, adding to the shortage.

Do you know what the inbound rate for T/L from Illinois is? Seems to be jumping up pretty fast
 
Capacity driven,
How about rates to the West from ON/QC for reefers or heaters? The rail backlog is finally catching up to shippers.

As I've said several times, hold on to your hats, it will be a ride.

But think about all this freight being sent to the USA early to avoid tariffs. If tariffs come in, what will happen to outbound?

GIDDY UP craziness is ahead, we actually here, no way around it, but when it ends, what kind of drop do we have coming...........

I guess trucking companies are just giving the brokers and shippers some payback for the miserable 3 years they've put them through? I'm just a stupid dispatcher I can't say for sure.
You're more than that my friend.

But everyone, post a truck in Chicago and tell me how many different brokers email and call you.

Then you will understand why the rate is now $2100
