    I was kind of associating this with "Everyone else is doing it, that's why." Like a teenager trying cigarettes because everyone is doing it. I'm not everyone else. Although I did smoke cigarettes for a long time LOL.

    +1 on your last set of posts and on remaining civil no matter how off the chain they get. Once in a while they will call back and agree to your rate, even after all the hysterics.

    For all of you who use a rate index I wrote an article I titled, "A Rate Index is for Suckers." The article is about the spot market and the inherent problems of rate indices.

    Don't waste your breath. They have their lies about losing money, breaking even, etc. They view your stories much the same. The price either works in the moment or doesn't.
