I see why trucking is going the way it is...

If you lived on the left coast with all them youngens and ex's to keep up you'd really be singing the blues.

 

I think trucking is going the way it is because of drivers...we control these companies and the government but we just don't see it....Just pick a week where every truck driver in the country is at home...and we wont drive until every demand (reasonable demands) is met....I bet they get on it with the quickness. ..

but we couldn't even get 100 drivers to stick together on the web...yet alone 500k of them lol...

 

Couldn't that be taken as forming a union...?

 

Yup we could do that as well but I think it would be a bolder statment if drivers just be like eff it...I ain't doing nothing until some ###### change round here

 

What does the " cost of living " have to do with trucking??????? I hope he gets it by now....lol

 

I ain't parking or shutting down. We have great customers that pay a great rate. Why would We shut down and not give our customers the service that they expect and pay well for? Now if you wanna make some kind of a statement, boycott the customers and brokers that are trying to get their widgets shipped for nothing. If it don't ship the price will go up. But good luck with that when you have companies and o/o willing to haul for a buck a mile just to move to a better area or think that a buck fifty is a good rate.

 

See...thats exactly what I mean....lol we will never stick together. ..im not doing bad I have a good rate too...but I would do it just to get rid of bs like idle laws and psp and little b.s like that and illegal immigrant drivers which are why the rates will eventually crash to ######

 

I believe cost of living goes by the drug world...I really do lol

 

With 6 kids, 2 EX-wives, one current wife and a girlfriend, your cost of living, (COL), is probably higher than that of most people on the whole continent of North America, (Canada, U.S.A., and Mexico).

HOLY MOSES!!

God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!

 

Everything when it comes to what I or you can do a load for. Ex: I moved from md to ky, in md my property tax on .3 acres was $6880/yr in E-town, ky I pay less than $800 on 7 acres, that's a huge COL adjustment on just one item meaning I can underbid most MD drivers, everything else being the same.
