    Unfortunately you are absolutely correct. Scary how many have no idea of basic civics in this country. Done on purpose.
    Up to us parents to teach our kids so they don’t become useless indoctrinated citizens

    Show me proof of rates crashing. I have not seen that. Some areas lower and others higher. I am using dat pro and my truck usage. Please show me your resources of rates “crashing.” Crashing is just that. Rates do flux some with seasonal changes, geographic locations, and truck trend lines.

    Booked a load 864 mi from my home 20
    For 3580.00. Booked a load up to Chicago area 653 miles 2 grand. Then back to home 20, 437 miles 1960.00 not going to #####
    Been doing just fine. Just have to work a little harder. Agree with you fuel going up faster than we have seen in a long time.
    I just slowed down to running raider express speeds 53 mph. Got no hurry to be anywhere. However these guys who have been hauling that cheap freight. They will be the first to go. Like a broker told me fri.
    A fellow with heavy accent took a load from
    Omaha to Mira a loma CA for 3100.00 on 1650 miles or so. Freight out on west coast markets suck. But time to thin the heard

    I really haven't seen the rates going down in lanes that I run. I have seen some low rates on the board, but they don't move and are there the next day.
