Are you still trucking?

How many of you are still in this crazy business? Has anything changed for you, either freight rates or FSC? Are things better, worse or the same?

Business is great, all the guys that are hauling the $1/mi freight are going under and leaving all that junk freight sitting which in return is bringing the rates up on it. Now when I need a broker load I don't laugh at them as much as I used to
