"..They actually have to profit from hauling, we just try to stop the bleeding..."
You could go the other way; sell the trucks & trailers, layoff the drivers, and hopefully reduce your costs enough to sell tractors cheaper than the other guys.
Try to make your money on what you do best, and let the haulers try to make a buck doing what they do best.
Let buyers know that a bottom-dollar deal includes NO transport for any reason. Give them a list of the local haulers, if the buyers don't have a way to haul themselves.
