Brokers offer transparency. Imagine that!

What you’re saying is only theory. It’s not reality. Reality is, freight will always move. Those who can no longer compete will be forced out. The sooner the better. Those that remain are the leanest, most efficient. Any attempts to prop up rates, or regulate the amount of competition only prolongs the inevitable, or worse makes for a perpetual mediocre environment. Let the chips fall where they may. There’s going to be winners and losers. That’s the most basic foundation of Capitalism. Can’t hack it, get out. Don’t criticize others for competing, and expect them not to, so you can succeed. It doesn’t work that way.

 

Down time? What’s that? Lol. I’ve truly been blessed in that aspect. Very little over the years. This Trucks never been on a hook, in the 15 years and 1.5 million miles that Ive owned it. It has spent one month getting an OH over Christmas 2020. That was a killer. $11000. Somehow I managed. From what I gather a newer emissions Truck that’s only been on a hook 3 times in 5 yrs is a track record worth of bragging about. Then again some people will brag about anything and everything. They can’t help it.

 

It’s sad that you too have bought into the idea that you must run cheap. Sigh* two incredibly smart guys one that has a truck that’s about to lay down and one who was ready to quit just a few months back. Best of luck to you guys.

 

You too. I’ve got a cheap load to haul. Waited 2 days for it too. It’s not as cheap as others I passed up on. But cheap enough for me.

 

Well. I’m just sitting here watching Netflix waiting to deliver a load that paid 9,000 on 760 miles because the cheap freight hauler that booked it for 6200 couldn’t do proper maintenance and broke down. To each his own.

 

Enjoy the flix. Surprised you took it so cheap.

 

Yeah I don’t know what I will do. I guess I will have to take whatever is offered me to get back home

 

Watching the Koresh documentary. Pretty good stuff
