    I can’t speak as to their treatment of employee truck drivers. I’ve only hauled live cattle into their plants for harvest. It’s just public knowledge that they control 85% of the beef market.

    You arent stupid amigo. Communism has been trying to gain control of the earth since the french revolution. One cannot convert directly from capitalism to communism, you must first get a country to become socialist. And to do that requires constant crisis. You have to destroy capitalism before anyone will choose socialism. That is what you are seeing and feeling. People in the system working to destroy it from within. Viva la revolucion eh?

    I own one truck in Hampton roads VA. Are the rates good enough to hire a driver and make money? Are all the runs OTR?

    You can sell your truck to anyone, anywhere, not just Hampton Roads, VA

    Advertise in a national truck selling site, like Commercial Truck Trader, or eBay, or Truck Paper, etc.

    Price it right and someone will buy it.

    All the social revolutions have one thing in common; skewed wealth distribution.
    One way or another, such imbalances tend to be adjusted, per laws of social physics, for the lack of better term. These laws have nothing to do with social justice or injustice...or how someone feels about it. Just can't have an elite, no matter how well deserving their elevated status, in the ocean of mediocrity and poordom.
    These laws are like gravity,: inevitable, and universal. The will always find equilibrium. That goes for humans, animals and plants.
    So perhaps those who destroy the system in the first place are exactly the opposite of those who you are referring to.

    I think everyone should be told what to do.
