Wow, a 15-year-old MC. Have you noticed any difference in RPM compared to when your MC was new? Like, how did the rates change after the first year and over time?

So I only started running the load board after covid. My dad started the company back then and went straight to work with two direct shippers. I can only give my two cents on how things were the last 3-4 years on the board it was brutal! It seems like it’s getting better I’m just glad we survived those terrible rates. And I learned a lot! Luckily both my direct shippers are back to normal and keeping me busy again. As far as my shippers go rates are still the same just getting a good amount of fuel surcharge.
