Under $2/mile loads with $6/gal diesel.

He runs a fleet. Different animal to tackle in a Dow. Market.

 

Couldn't of said it better. That's how we get all of our repeat business with a small 2 truck company. That and a lot more opportunities pop up when a broker knows you have more than 1 truck

 

Ask for more ? I’m already making a stupid healthy profit EVEN IF I 3rd party it out.
Why bite them hand that feeds you?

 

This seems to be the new 2.0 thread. Ya better take notes. Maybe then you can upgrade to something better than canned ravioli!!!

I'm still eating roller dogs...

Maybe one day I'll make it to the heavy hitting league.

 

You're just putting lipstick on a pig.

The pig is your idea of a 15% cap on brokers.

The lipstick is your vague references to science, internal peace and order, half ####ed macro economic musings, polarized poles (wtf?), etc...

You can't defend your idea with specifics so you runaway to vague generalities.

 

Vague? I tried to be logical with my arguments and scale them proportionally to the scope of this thread and my own abilities to convey my own thoughts. What do you expect me to do, defend Ph.D. theses in this thread or something like that? You can find them when you research the internet. This is nothing new.
You, on the other hand, are huffing and puffing with ... nothing more but slogans - all your free market and personal freedoms - decorated with vulgarities and verbal aggression hardly proving the merits of the free market. I showed you one simple example of when the free market (or the market as little as it was regulated at the time) failed BIG BIG TIME and the shift in methods in economics since then - 90 years - to be subjected to interventionism, regardless of what party was in charge. Maybe thanks to that you don't see kids running around barefoot anymore.

And I am not against personal freedoms and for total governmental control. Quite the contrary but I am realistic enough to know that there must be an effort to improve things if they go astray...a hand measuring the pulse. Things don't fix themselves anymore - under the current state of society. Everything would turn into one big havoc if you let things run uncontrolled.

 

Brokers only collect souls for use in the afterlife, they don't sell them.

 

I just want to be able to feed the cat.

 

Beeferonni or must be given for free at the nearest food bank.
90 years ago, people were walking around hungry to the point they'd eat your cat.

 

Don't worry. Once you starve to death, OM will eat just fine.
