    As for me, the one who started the original thread and the current 2.0 version, I've always had a ride the wave presentation, aside from my periodic hyperbolic sarcastic moments.

    I try not to get too up or down on the various pendulum swings. It's business and things are always subject to change.

    Most often because of things that are completely out or our control anyways.

    Maybe I’m reading it wrong but your essentially making a dig at me? The reason I started that was to get through people’s heads to push the rate up vs laying over and taking it.

    It must really suck to know you're stuck on ELD's for whatever reasons while others enjoy trucking. Have fun with your trucking job. I bought and paid for my trucking job and I love it LOL

    It'll even itself out probably by end of year or so. Then they'll be ####ting their pants with that payment running for fuel money

    Part of the reason is they were marking them down 15k to 20k dollars to move them. Subsequently, the used truck market is FLOODED now, and cheap to boot.
