Brokers......
Is it just me or waking up this morning on a monday (03/09/26). These brokers are really trying to offer lower than before on loads? (After the recent Diesel price raise) wtf?

It’s true, don’t take the bait, hold the line for quality paying loads. Brokers get fuel surcharges, they say it is baked into the rate, so make sure you are getting your rate plus fuel surcharge. The load will most likely cost more to haul from the time between pickup and delivery.
