I'm a broker who hasn't done a bulk load before, but am in the quoting proccess for a tanker from Arkansas to Colorado 1,080 miles total. It's not moving until June. How much is the rate/mile for bulk tankers right now. I understand the market is dymanic right now but just want to get a range. |

No don't under $5.00 per mile, you are only hurting your business in the long run.

5.50 a mile + Fuel and Wash is the current norm from direct customers. |

I'm making this comment with no ill intention and not being rude. I'm not anti broker. There many things that need to be answered before you throw a rate out there. If you are getting into liquid bulk you need to figure out what those things are before you get in. Many brokers (and trucks) have recently jumped into the tank game with no experience, and they have basically trashed the market. I remember someone commenting recently they have actually hauled loads where the tank wash cost more than they were paid for the haul. Please do yourself and everyone else pulling a tank a favor and stay with what you know. When you jump in a new segment of the industry with no knowlege and bid against those that do know the market, the carriers are the collateral damage. The tank market is way more involved and complicated than the general freight market.

That's not accurate if you have to pump, or air it off with your equipment unless you do it for free. Most that I know of don't do it for free because of the cost of the equipment. |

Kinda depends on what the product is. I'm running Kosher food grade at $10+ a mile. Mostly over $12. |

my point exactly..just wait until a general freight broker gets a shot at it.. it will be trashed as well.

Thank You Barry...you are way nicer than me. I have a funeral Tuesday after I'm gonna go pu one of those trailers. See if we can get together. I'll call.
And Kyle you must be looking for something else to haul...telling the world your rate...its not that hard to figure out your shipper. Protect yourself. Foodgrade tanker has some of the most cutthroat rate cutter companies out there. And I don't have any, but I know some that do. Paul |

Standing ovation!!!!! The same thing has been done to the pneumatic side of things. As far as I know pneumatic work is at about 50% of where it was in 2019. I have people calling me that don't even know what a pneumatic is or how it works.

It’s already happening I I saw TQL had a kosher load posted from Newark to Chicago for $2,000. That’s just plain stupid, I’ll DH my trucks back to Chicago before i haul at that rate.

Greetings!! Barry has offered sound advice. I would be interested in paying you to help me bid on tanker loads. I pulled tanks for over 4 years. Most people are tight lipped about rates. Without proper information, the market will continue to be polluted with terrible carriers. I can be reached at [email protected] or 478 335-0716. I'm currently working on additional information. I'd like to get more before I pursue this opportunity. |
