Motor Freight [h2] Motor Freight [/h2] [p] Motor freight carriers haul truckloads for freight brokers and are responsible for transporting over 70 percent of all freight moved in America! [/p] [h2] What is Motor Freight? [/h2] [p] Motor freight is a variety of <a href="https://truckerpath.com/blog/types-of-truck-freight/">truck freight</a> that can range from manufactured, commercial or residential materials that otherwise cannot be shipped by carriers such as UPS or FedEx delivery trucks due to the size, volume and other factors pertaining to the freight.[/p] [p] Just take a moment and look around the room you're in. You'll probably notice different types of furniture, electronics, and appliances - so where did they come from? Sure you bought them at the store but the things you buy are delivered by truck freight. [/p] [h2] Motor Freight Trucking [/h2] [p] When freight is ready to be picked up from the warehouse or distribution center and dropped off to the customer or store, motor freight trucking is needed. See <a href="https://truckerpath.com/blog/trucking-industry-trends/">truck drivers covered 450 billion miles</a> in 2016 traveling across the country and back (and back again and again) delivering the freight that is in demand by the consumers. Trucking is the lynchpin in supply chain logistics and chances are if you bought it, a trucker brought it. [/p] [p] Meanwhile, motor <a href="https://truckerpath.com/blog/what-is-a-freight-broker/">freight brokers</a> help facilitate the transporting of goods by connecting their shipper clients with motor carriers. Brokers will work with shippers to finalize a <a href="https://truckerpath.com/blog/truck-freight-quote/"> truck freight quote</a> and then the subsequent freight rate will be paid to the carrier after the truck freight is delivered.

Industry Update - March 15, 2019 <h3>Trucking Industry Update March 15, 2019</h3> <h5>By Jeremy Feucht</h5> <h3><strong><u>Did you Know?</u></strong></h3> One of the world’s first, and at the time the worst, oil tanker spill occurred this week in history. On March 16, 1978, the Supertanker Amoco Cadiz, wrecked off the coast of France. The spill released 68 million gallons of oil into the Ocean and covered roughly 240 miles of French coastline in oil. <h3><strong><u>Trucking tip of the Week</u></strong></h3> We are about a week away from Spring Break for most of the US. This means more cars on the road traveling to both big cities and remote areas. Make sure you allow yourself additional time on your trips. Be vigilant as this time of year also begins to see an increase in freight thefts. Be careful and be safe. <h3><strong><u>Declarations of Emergency</u></strong></h3> With another massive storm hitting the US, make sure you are checking the road and weather reports for the areas you are traveling to and through. This time, a good portion of the <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/weather/topstories/bomb-cyclone-slams-plains-midwest-with-heavy-winds-snow/ar-BBUMs06?ocid=spartandhp">Mid-West and Plain States</a> were hit with what is being called a “Bomb Cyclone.” This weather pattern hit states from Colorado to Iowa and as far south as Missouri. Many states have already declared a State of Emergency. Make sure you know if your loads are cleared for hours of service exemptions before trying to run in an exempt status. <h3><strong><u>Pay</u></strong></h3> In what should come as little surprise, and good news to owner-operators, large fleets saw a reduction in turnover rates in 2018. This is because <a href="https://www.joc.com/trucking-logistics/labor/pay-hikes-cut-truckload-driver-turnover-big-fleets_20190314.html">large trucking companies increased pay</a> across the board for their drivers. As rates drove up, companies were desperate to keep their seasoned drivers from going off on their own and increased pay. By doing this, they allowed owner-operators to operate at higher rates in the spot-market for a bit longer than normal. As rates begin to fall again, we will see if large fleets retain their high pay rates through the summer or not. <h3><strong><u>Danger on the Road</u></strong></h3> This piece of news has several dangerous aspects to it. A driver, just outside of Spokane, WA was uninjured when he navigated the rest stop exit improperly and wrecked his truck into a snow bank. Normally, a wreck that is off the freeway/highway would not shut down an interstate for two hours. This one however did as the trucker had <a href="https://www.khq.com/news/isp-confirms-semi-truck-carrying-missiles-was-headed-for-indiana/article_e96df9ae-443a-11e9-8fb5-430d6df36d84.html">16, 2000-pound US Military missiles</a> on board. Military crews from Fairchild Air Force Base were called to clean up and secure the scene.

Highest Paying Truck Loads [p]Find the highest paying truck loads to maximize your trucking company's earning potential. [/p] [h2] Highest Paying Truck Loads [/h2] [p] Hauling the highest paying truck loads is essential to running a successful trucking company. <a href="https://truckerpath.com/blog/truck-freight-rates/">Truck freight rates</a> are based on the current market, therefore there is a week-to-week fluctuation of what a truck load is paying. [/p] [h2] Using Free Load Boards [/h2] [p] Free load boards like <strong>Truckloads</strong> provide a marketplace where owner-operators and <a href="https://truckerpath.com/blog/trucking-authority/">carriers with trucking authority</a> can search for loads that have been posted by freight brokers. Ideally, you will want to use a load board that has a mobile application as well. This way you can find truck loads anytime and limit those empty miles. [/p] [p] Imagine sitting at the dock waiting to get unloaded for hours (we know you've all been there) and you have over 1,000 miles to travel back home with no load. Wouldn't it be great if you could find a truck load to haul on your way back and earn a little more? [/p] [p]Well, with an app like <strong>Truckloads</strong> now you can. Don't believe us? Just ask one of the 150,000 carriers who use the app and rated it the highest-rated mobile load board on Google Play and the App Store![/p] [android-img src="/uploads/2017/09/Screenshot_20171116-110521-1.jpg" alt="My image"] [h2] Finding Truck loads - Location, Location, Location [/h2] [p] We all know that it's all about location in real estate and it's no different for finding truck loads. The location of a truck load plays a crucial role in determining how high the truck load will pay and often times, it may not be nearby. [/p] [p]You might have to be willing to increase your <ahref="https://truckerpath.com/blog/what-is-deadhead/">deadhead miles</a> in order to find the highest paying truck load. If you have a reefer truck, you can find the best reefer truck loads by focusing your search for locations where there are heavy volumes of agriculture such as Florida, California, and Texas. [/p] [h2] How are Truck Load Rates Calculated? [/h2] [p]Truck load rates are calculated based on a variety of factors of the current market conditions. This includes: [/p] [ul] [li]Load-to-Truck Ratio in an Area [/li] [li]Weight and size of a truck load [/li] [li]Shippers willingness to pay[/li] [li]Type of goods being hauled[/li] [li]Time constraint and a variety of other factors[/li] [/ul] [p]The truck loads posted by freight brokers are based on the amount the shipper agrees is fair to move the load. You must remember that the freight broker is paid based on his or her ability to profit from the price agreed with the shipper and the price agreed to the carrier. Therefore, there is ample opportunity to negotiate for a higher truck load rate, especially when the conditions of the market are in your favor. [/p] [h2] What is the Highest Paying Truck Load? [/h2] [p] On average, <strong>flatbed loads </strong> have the highest rates. Flatbed trucks are used as truck freight for construction goods, large manufactured parts, and various oversized loads. Due to the sheer size and value of such parts, shippers are willing to pay a bit more to ensure the freight is delivered without a scratch. (This isn't always the case but is based on typical averages). [/p] [p] An oversized load is any truck freight that is over 8.5 feet wide. This type of truck freight requires red flags and lights to help identify the oversized truck freight on the road.[/p] [video id=snyBYpnuhWw] [h2] Truckloads Load Board Offers: [/h2] [ul] [li] Mobile app and web versions [/li] [li] Over 3 million monthly truck loads [/li] [li] New loads posted every 60 seconds [/li] [li] Truck loads for 11 different equipment types [/li] [li] Custom searches by location, deadhead, and date [/li] [li] Unlimited access to premium loads [/li] [li] View a freight broker's credit score and days to pay[/li] [li] 100% Free to use and book truck loads!
