    Hey can we analyze how carriers are on the frontlines delivering freight; and brokers are abusing this time to race to the bottom in prices.

    Spot market bids dropped upto 30% in some lanes even when these products are rush or essential in the supply chain.

    Funny to see brokers “supporting truckers” and then racing to the bottom to offer 600USD on 550Miles and have the audacity to tell a carrier to make money on the low fuel rates. astonishing
