    They dont have to worry about negotiating because everybody takes the 80 cent load without even trying to go higher.

    I see by your response my point went way over your head.
    Therefore, trying to educate you on simple business principles is pointless.
    Good bye.

    This is capitalism at its finest. Plenty of Indian trucks will haul the cheap freight. Free markets mean free movement of labor (open borders) Uncle Adolf would have never allowed this. See if you qualify for an interest free loan..

    lol I had one class where we sat at tables... the one table I was at had a trio of bozos who made my life throughout high school hell... until one day I had enough and flipped the table over onto them, stormed out of the room, dented the fronts on several lockers, kicked open the door of the boy’s rest room, yelling “I’ve had enough of the #### in this ######## school!!”....after that they kept their distance.

    In wood shop I exploded. It came out of no where. One minute I was just annoyed. Eh big effing deal go awn you stupid lout leave me be.

    Of course Lout leers at me and leans in close like a woman. That infurated me.

    I grabbed the spare carbide rapid saw blade circlur and "Fired it" at him full strengh.

    I rushed the shot and flubbed the aim. It sang when embedded into the frame just past his head.

    Seeing red I lit into him on the chin and braces with my fists. (Back home my 200 pound air force security nuclear super man brother used me as a 105 pound punching back in his SAC nuclear days...) I used that memory as a fuel for the fight that definately was on. Its irrevocable. Its like trying to stop a female from engaging in childbirth. Some things in nature will just be. its happening and no more talk.

    6 kids pulled me of him.

    Teacher waded into it. I slugged him. One football classmate lumbered into me and slammed me into a wall. Then took my air away.

    as far as 7th grade goes that was fast, violent and utter satisfaction. He had bullied me for a year. No one did a #### thing. Not teachers, not counslers not the staff. Eff them all. So hes pulpy and destroyed braces etc.

    And you know what? I roared like a barbarian. Squealed is more like it in my not yet broken voice. But it was primal and very well understood.

    That was my first bully. I went home to one of my parents and explained how sweet that vengeance is after all that pain.

    She cautioned me not to love that violence. Our lineage are pretty barbarian at heart, but it has to be not used because we are a land of rules in school not violence.

    Sure if you are a quaker.

    I think 3% to 8% is what the broker deserves , he says only 16% . That's too much for a phone driver in my opinion.
