    Hey! Maybe this freight rates thread can morph into a Hunting & Fishing thread!

    It appears I will personally have a little more time to explore such things as I have officially parked my truck. I'm not quite ready, or hungry enough yet, to compete for $1.50 (or less) a mile supply & demand loads.

    The way I look at it is maybe one more less truck in the spot pool for awhile will help someone else out that might really need it right now.

    Hard to say, man. I'm looking at lane data right now and posted rates, just to kind of see what I'm up against.

    I don't like it, to be honest. But here's hoping stuff will right out fairly quickly.

    Well, let's hope that things do take a positive swing up in the next several weeks. From the sounds of it, some folks haven't skipped a beat, which is great news!

    Nope,the monster is the person who shot it,was it shot because they were hungry n needed food?or being attacked?
    Or because they get pleasure from killing other creatures with an unfair high power advantage?
    Now if someone was desperately hungry n killed the animal with a knife that's impressive

    They ATE the meat. They live on 640 acres in the boonies, plant their own food, harvest animals (legally) off the land.

    My son-in-law and daughter's family are partially sustained from the meat of legally harvested animals. NOTHING goes to waste!

    They apply & pay for hunting tags and licenses issued by the State of Oregon, and each year harvest, elk, deer & sometimes bear. If these animals are not harvested and populations thinned out, they will overrun the land and do more damage to the environment than you can imagine.

    How many of them are real single loads and not copies of loads? You guys got some good agents with solid freight, but you've also got a plethora of agents doing loads for other brokers and their sub agents and sub agents of sub agents all shopping the exact same loads originating from tql/chr/bnf/etc.
