    I'm seeing a lot of loads posted on the west coast for a little over a dollar a mile. Not sure if they're actually finding people to haul for that cheap, but they're out there. Accepting cheap loads hurts us all.

    It doesn’t. They’re going broke.

    Sometimes companies have contracts where they are paid both ways even if there isn’t a backhaul. This way they can take a buck a mile and be fine. However, that’s few and far between.

    I’ve been sounding the alarm since September and October but alot of the responses were snide. All those people have disappeared into the wood work now.
