    I view covert double brokering as about the same as fraudulently billing medicaire. I am for prosecuting double brokers and medicare crooks, but i know that neither will fix either system.

    Forcing a doctor to show his earnings will fix it even less.

    Why weren’t the brokers asking for a profit cap on O/O in 2018? They knew theire time would come and it has. Again it will be our time to get the rates we want. Its just a game that goes in circles

    Freight is too big for any one corporate player to control. If one cornered a big enough market to dictate the rates, another mega investor would set up shop next door and take half the fed up clients away. AIG or progressive or goldman sachs can jump into logistics any old day they please.

    Now if govt gets back over it, whole different story.

    I don’t ever see that happening. The companies like Uber and convoy are far greater threats if you ask me.

    I dont think we're arguing. Theres rackets everywhere.

    America is still the land of opportunity. Youve got the opportunity to get rich, or the opportunity to get poor. None of us knows which one we're gonna get.

    See? The issue is not about getting rich. The issue here is how you get rich. Look what is going on with amazon. His employees are treated like slaves. And you can argue , then don’t work for them, right . Instead arguing what is fair for Jeff bezo’s employees.
