- Getting that relief money from Washington into the right hands
- On this week’s Drilling Deep, host John Kingston heard from Jack Rybicki, a managing principal at the accounting and consulting firm CLA.
- Jack has been steering many clients through the process of trying to get money from the federal government under the CARES Act — in particular, the Payroll Protection Program that will allow employees to be retained and a lot of the bills to be paid. It’s good for firms of fewer than 500 people; it’s good for an independent owner-operator.
- John will also talk about numbers from the diesel market that help confirm that not only is the trucking market weak but based on diesel demand, it’s historically weak. The numbers don’t lie.

Hello Tom, the freight market is up and down every year. There are year round lanes, and spot lanes. Year round lanes we want to keep at a higher than market rate to our carriers during the down time, but expect a minimal increase come tight capacity. This will turn back into a carrier market at some point, and brokers and shippers will have to deal with very inflated rates spot market carriers try to impose. Many carriers do the exact same thing many brokers are doing right now, and utilize a change to hopefully make up for the months where they do not do well. Lets also not forget fuel is at a new low, and those are real costs carriers are saving money on. The adjustment of low spot rates is partly due to the fuel factor.

It is shameful what the Brokers are doing right now with rates and the obscene profiteering.
Freight is almost always bid on a Yearly basis , You do not re bid lanes because a pandemic has hit the country for 2 months.
So the excuse when they try and increase their markup right now that ” this is all I have in it” is a lie, they are just trying to increase their profit margin while the can for 2 months or so.
Example: A Large ( top 5 Broker) has a load from TN to a Walmart DC in PA …now we all know that they are not bidding on this load because it is a load they cover multiple times a month, they have this lane. and every day of the week normally they try and cover it for 1400.00 so they perhaps have a rate in with Your normal 15% markup of say 1600-1650.00 with their customer. so now trying to move it for 900.00 is shameful and profiteering.. and the largest Brokers , the ones You interview on this site are the worst culprits.
