Honestly while i admire people putting their wallets where their mouth is, and i truely honestly wish them luck. All this will acomplish exactly ####. Most likely its going to backfire badly if it aint shut down, and end up making life harder for those of us who are lucky or smart enough to find the good loads.
Oh well. Where is my popcorn gif....bryan21384, Rideandrepair, Tall Mike and 3 others Thank this. -
I'm protesting from home.
Unfortunately no protest will stop people from working for fuel money and a roller dog.
Too many of them out there.RockinChair, Flat Earth Trucker, bryan21384 and 4 others Thank this. -
I’m just going to say, it’s difficult to go into business at certain times, especially into one with a million competitors.
The big companies can cut rates, and make .04/mile after all expenses profit make it, say 200 trucks x 100k miles.
It’s why they can make it where one can’t, all you have to provide as a trucking company is service.
Doing what shipper/receivers need extra, drop trailers/unload/ all the extras helps.Rideandrepair, Another Canadian driver and Siinman Thank this. -

This will not accomplish what they are trying to do of course. If they do get on the news it will maybe open the eyes of the people paying the freight bills. They will now want to get those rates lower since they see it is moving for $2 a mile while they are paying 3-5 a mile to brokers. This may backfire and hurt us more!bryan21384, Rideandrepair, Another Canadian driver and 2 others Thank this. -

Brah, the .01 is all I got in it !
LoneRanger, Rideandrepair, D.Tibbitt and 1 other person Thank this. -
Another failed protest? What's cheap for one person doesn't make it cheap for another. It sounds like yall want the government to control rates..
Why not protest stuff that really matters like wait times at customer's and the horrible parking issue.Derailed, bamanation, Opendeckin and 7 others Thank this.
