    Rates been good lately, moneys looking like pre-2015/early 2016....... prolly gonna be like this now due to elogs. I know my co. been smashing customers on rates and accessorials.... nearly increase everything from line haul, ect. I know they are trimming down on long haul runs unless you sleep in your truck by choice then you'll get fed long runs as you like, and when i mean long, i mean 300+.

    Also @RERM , @4noReason , is it me or is there alot less owner operators now parked in the lot? Lol

    so why was azmi so irritated at the meeting? if thats the case there should be no reason for them to complain. once elogs come they know they wont. but what about the 15-17 o/o a day off thing.
