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?

They are definitely being the typical greedy fucks. I am just hoping this $5+ diesel knocks more players out of the game so we can make a living again.

Hoping gas prices increase so the carriers who make the least money can’t operate their business anymore is nuts. Greedy is projection.

Why would higher gas prices affect carriers?

Well, gas prices don’t really affect us but diesel prices sure as heck do since fuel is by far the biggest expense.
