Cheap Freight of the day

Amazon, here in lower mainland, Put bidding out for local pick up and deliveries. Some idiots are bidding $100 when you know you have to drop trailer at delivery and go back to pick it up same day or next. Did these loads 4-5 years back with rates between $300-400.

Dear Abby
I would like to address the elephant in the room - cheap freight $2/mile in this economy from NE - ON. I keep being 'outbid' like i'm a gas station hotdog at 2:00am. Ms. Abby I feel at this rate I may as well run my trucks for a Tim's roll under the rim prize.

And don't even get me started on ' Oh if you do this we will make it up on the next load' - no Sir the next load is not only trash it is the landfill - nothing salvageable.

signed,
not hauling champagne freight on a tap water budget - sad in NE

I really thought we'd get a bit longer of a reprieve than a couple months from this 2 bucks a mile bullshit.
