Keep on truckin: Area part of nationwide shortage

where do the come up with the truck shortage myth, companies are daily going out of business due to lack of freight and the ones barely hanging on are doing so by cutting rates and keeping us all from getting the raises we need to live like everyone else.
all this is,is a myth perpetrated by the trucking companies so they can keep the driver pay low and the brokers so they can keep on scamming the owner/operators.

 

gearjammer , i finaly heard someone with some sense!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess everyone noticed the part in the article where it said they were looking to change companies after only 3 months................Hmmmmmm..........Wonder why that is????????????????????

Also makes me think they are trying to work the angle of getting foreign drivers in to work for cheap........

 

I just read another post where a stock analyst lowered guidance on the whole trucking sector because freight volumes are falling, so who in their right mind would think the trucking industry has a shortage of anything,except of course common sense.
