I still can't understand how some people can not like the "let's go" in the beginning of the video. Those people suck. I think it sets the tone for another cheery video from someone who just oozes with charisma. Even when it's bad news. You can't teach natural charisma like that. Rock on Miranda.
New owner op here. I'm leased on with a company and between the company cut and truck expenses, I'm making less than a company driver or about the same, but I've been reject loads aswell just because I'm not going to be working for peanuts as a OO. Glad more people are rejecting as well.
On the truck and trailer sales side, we are seeing increased buyer activity. That is froim the wholesale equipment point of view. Thanks Miranda for insights. Hope your 4th was awesome.
To me, higher rejection rates might be a short term positive for the spot market but what it really indicates is the economy is bad and the Shippers are wanting their product hauled cheaper and cheaper and some of the contract carriers are drawing the line. So, good for them.
I think you're right. I'm dropping a load in VA , plenty of loads, but the rates are insulting. Luckily, I got a good rate coming in because I'm not putting those garbage rates in my trailer. Let it rot on the docks drivers!!
If the economy was doing worse then the volumes would be decreasing too but the volumes are getting higher. There also has been dramatic and sudden increase in ocean freight rates which would indicate that things are starting to move forward slowly? I think major problem we have is that we still have too much capacity in the market
@@tomek373 yes, but economy is still bad. It’s a seasonal improvement. It’s produce season. People still eat. Building/housing is poor and Ocean freight is because we import too much thanks to businesses outsourcing for cheap labor.

At the risk of being hated I like to learn about the trucking markets. However, have you or would you on occasion due some videos concerning the Expedited Sprinter markets maybe . I am not on the road right now however I think if I had a channel like yours while I was i would have made more money with this kind of information. You do a great job very helpful to a lot of people on the road Thank you
Absolutely fantastic. The continued support and efforts are more than appreciated! There is a lot of time and effort put into each of these videos. I hope that your audience appreciates you as much as most of us do! 😊 Happy and safe 4th to you all! 🎉
It amazes me how so much attention is put on rates, tender rejections, capacity and any other metric people can distract themselves with vs hustling to acquire their own customers. Tender rejection rates do not matter when you are addicted to the spot market.
Thank you for this show, I am trying to get a sense of market health to estimate how Heartland Express will report their next quarter. I believe you mentioned that spot rates are currently below contract rates and surpised to see that as I previously thought HTLD juiced their results years ago with high priced rush orders. Has the market changed or are high priced rush orders a subsegment of the Spot market? Sorry if I misunderstood, and thanks again for this market commentary.
I wonder with several large/national carriers hurting lately to the point of closing their doors and/or laying off drivers, how many of these fleet/company drivers are deciding to do their own thing with their own rig and going into the spot market? Wouldn't this increase capacity and potentially make the rates worse for spot market?
LTL terminal in Atlanta I work out of was running low on empty 28 foot trailers last week. 3 months ago we usually had 50 empties available on top of the former YRC trailers waiting for a PM and getting new company E logos applied. Working tonight.
I noticed in one of your videos you talked about how Brokers and shippers are trying to reduce being affected by the fraud in the industry. One of the things you talked about was a virtual address. I wanted to find out how to get around having a virtual address if somebody has a UPS suite. What is statutory agent be sufficient using their address such as an accountant address or a home address. Can you help me with this without having to rent or own commercial real estate.
West Virginia doesn't seem to do well just going from the two maps you made, its like an island unto itself...I wonder why that is. Yea numbers can sometimes only tell half the story and sometimes even less than that. But not all the time, I think poll numbers...in some cases (like if you were to vote for candidate x or candidate y) can have all the info one needs within the output numbers but some polls aren't such cut and dry and the question they are asking (and the options available to choose from) can lead to faulty conclusions in the numbers. Good luck everyone!
If you believe #45 is gonna be any better for truckers, you're in for a rude awakening! Remember, he, like all politicians, is beholden unto big corporate. So there is absolutely no incentive on either side to enact policies that boost the freight market out of the dirt-cheap rates that have become the norm. The only ones who matter/win are the corporations and their shareholders. Neither Trump nor Biden could care less about us truckers. If I had any other career options, I'd be out of trucking a year ago.
No wonder you drive a truck. If you master hope l wtf you need a knowledge, as understanding supply/demand, velocity of money, volume of loans at inflation rate…🤦.
I find these California comments funny as I'm currently running a houston port to California run for Amazon (my guess is the Panama canal wouldn't take the boat the container was on)
why do you have a banner w/. your email address? I tried contacting you thru one of your websites about your dispatching course. I never received a reply. some type of click bait?
💯 Like and subscribe, you won’t be sorry. Amanda puts in a lot of time, research and effort to provide accurate and detailed trucking updates! Happy 4th! 🎉
A lot of people seem to be banking on Trump to save the day. Does anybody listen to Miranda? A half million too many trucks=not enough $ to go around. I'm all for Trump but don't expect a Miracle.

I'm a company driver that runs the same route everyday, I have no idea why I'm here but thank you for the info and have an excellent 4th!
Listen , we all know why you're here . For us owner ops, it's just a bonus besides the useful info .
It’s for a reason💪🏾

I know of a solid opportunity if interested..
Inflation over the last 5 years +21%.... rates over the last 5 -11% ouch
Real inflation over last 4 years is +55%. - WW
The infamous towpiglet! Are you back at it?

Curious, maybe I missed something, why the spike? In simple terms please… Is it mainly Reefer driven?
Please and thank you!

appreciate your channel, time and insight 🙌
Great content Miranda, thank you. Happy 4th to you and family. 🇺🇸
I had record cancelations from shippers. Hard to plan your week when your loads cancel the last minute. Had improved rates this week
You are so incredibly talented and great at giving advice and information thanks for sharing this information ❤
Wonderful information ! Your the best!
Great info Miranda, thank you!
Been saying things turning upward. Here we go. Happy 4th.
Thx for the numbers and heads up, as usual.

Have a wonderful Independence Day weekend, Miss Miranda.
You too! Happy 4th!
Anyone else get Bailey Quarters vibes? Not a bad thing at all.
I can't believe that its getting better when I see the number of companies closing and truckers losing their jobs.
Overall, It’s not getting better. This is a blip in the radar.

Hii actually I'm getting $3 per mile regular for flatbed is good or I'm getting low 😮?
Let’s Go!!!
Thank you!
Please don't faint Miranda 😅
r drivers nervous carrying debt looking at cheap freight ?
Thanks to this holiday I stay 4 days stranded herein Ohio stepdeck loads are dead this week wow okay
I have had a step since 1998. This is the worst I seen. Thank god I’m ready to retire. Then you hear these idiots say there is a drivers shortage.
If you try turning your webcam as broker, it would be 99% acceptance rating ahahah
Hopefully when the real President Trump is back in office we hope see a big shift in the markets what do you think Miranda 🤔. MAGA🇺🇸🇺🇸45th-47th
Is there! A difference from the real one and the one who act,s like a 3 rd grader just asking ?
Trump is not going to do diddly squat, but go on a revenge tour.
What did Trump do for truckers when he was in office? Nothing
If you believe #45 is gonna be any better for truckers, you're in for a rude awakening! Remember, he, like all politicians, is beholden unto big corporate.

Bro, as someone from Roanoke VA I NEVER expect to see that boring ass town pop up in a list LMAo
@@jaylinmoseley3910 did a contract there….definitely right about that town being boring
@@dion_the_entrepreneur lived there from 2022-2023 and had to gtfo. It's like being stuck in a time vacuum where every day is literally the same.
HI Miranda where do you get this data from ? is there a website that you can share that shows where motor carriers are opening and closing
I find these California comments funny as I'm currently running a houston port to California run for Amazon (my guess is the Panama canal wouldn't take the boat the container was on)
It will let you down.
What is the spot market?
Lakeland has no freight.
why do you have a banner w/. your email address? I tried contacting you thru one of your websites about your dispatching course. I never received a reply. some type of click bait?

Also thank you for the Live you did the other day…keep em coming 😊

I hope fuel goes to six bucks a gallon. Maybe then these idiots quit hauling loads for nothing. But I doubt it.
