I was watching a couple vehicles on Central yesterday and even called about them. It was a 2004 Crew Cab 4wd diesel F-250 paying $980 to the truck on around 12-13 hundred miles. There was also an Inop Taurus paying $800 going to same area. While those two were not too bad of a deal, I couldn't find the third vehicle to that area or even link through & ended up passing on the deal entirely.
That F-250 was at a Co-part & I did some digging to see if it too was an inop, even though it was listed as running. According to Co-part it did run and drive and the brokerage re-listed that truck at $836. Evidently they did some looking and pulled $144 that was suppose to go to the carrier!!!
This is from a brokerage who state their rates are non-negotiable. Their name, United Road Logistics LLC. The Taurus was through their sister company Northland Division URS, though its price remained the same.
*I just went and looked again, the Taurus rate went up $50 and the F-250 is still the same.*
