2018 VS 2019 FREIGHT RATES

So you're wondering if the rates will change... Will we see an increase or decrease?

It all depends on the economic growth demand and at what rate it grows.

Demand has grown in freight but rates have taken a slower approach to raise.

Jan we saw rates at $1.97 vs Feb $1.90. It is safe to be an owner-operator this year or become a company driver? we still don't know what this 2019 will bring but for sure trucking companies have to be prepared for it with these cheap rates. Could this be an early recession sign or a ruff spot soon the market will raise once China starts shipment in March- April? Trucking companies will need to keep their fingers crossed and wait to see dealing with cheaper rates is a most. Our market is a living breathing market sometimes it's up and sometimes it's down. Many small trucking companies are struggling to stay open at the start of this new year will they stay open for this rest of this year with the decrease in rates.

We will just have to wait and see what the years have to offer.

UBER IN TRUCKING THE CATCH ?

All you have to do is sign up on the Uber Freight app. If you’re a carrier, you’ll need to sign the Uber Freight contract, submit your insurance, provide your active DOT or MC number and give the app your banking information for payment purposes.

You're ready to go ...wait wtf....smh, what I can't negotiate this rate ... So what I'am stuck in to accepting issues if not careful. You could find your self in a troubling issue , but I do say I

love the fact that uber is breaking into 100 yr of trucking barriers it's amazing. I do think uber has the right mind set...? Maybe crippling effects on past competitors. .. wow the future does looking promising for uber...

who knows, it seems each day freight is more outsource than ever.

NOTE: Uber Freight currently only works with those driving 53’ Dry Van and Reefer trucks.

TRUTH IS YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO NEGOTIATE YOUR RATES .... THAT'S THE CATCH...
