    Nice. Call em and tell them you'll pull for them exclusively! :biggrin_2559:

    Actually, perhaps it's appropriate to call them and repeat the following script:

    (ahem....)

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAHAHAHA
    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA....

    <gasp>

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA......

    <pant>

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Unfortunately, it gets worse. Try looking at outbound freight from El Paso, for example.

    I have learned my lesson... never haul into an area that does not give a 360 degree radius to get out.

    I will look anyway... like a train wreck.

    Leaving cheap freight on the docks will hopefully send the message... but somehow I think there will always be someone, and that is the problem.

    Without unity the fight will never yield to a victory.

    I think the economy is playing a huge part of what our problems are today. More trucks than freight, supply and demand. I think when things start to turn around, and I believe they're beginning to, things will be looking much more sunnier. I just wish in the meantime the government would give us some tax relief or throw us some sort of bone.

    I'll just bet that the folks taking that cheap freight are doing it instead of having to deadhead. Something's better than nothing. I've not done that but can't say I ever won't unfortunately.:biggrin_25510:

    Why the Hell should the Gov add you to the list of other freeloaders on the Fed teet. It's your business. You decided to jump in the game. Don't look for the economy to get much better any time soon as long as they keep piling up debt that is money down the drain. Cheap freight sucks. How many times a week do you contact your representatives to hound them about the 30 million criminal illegals in this country? Want to put a brake on cra p freight there's a good starting place. Don't fall into that "Gov should help me" trap driver. Ruined a lot of good men and women.
