    I have to say this to everyone crying about wanting rates regulated.

    Were was everyone during 1980 for deregulation. I'm to young to drive but seen my family go thru it.

    Same blow hards crying then as now. You guys would ##### being hung with a new rope. Your gonna make this worse than it is. If they regulate them, they are gonna regulate us.

    Simple solution. Live with in your means and stop being greed SOB's. When rates go down, My truck is parked. Stop accepting cheap freight, stop having 3000 buck truck payments. The one crying are the ones causing the problem. Anyone that can make it will and there will be better times.

    Edit, learn how to negotiate. Stop excepting.

    We've been saying this since the day this thread open, we must be insane because it's like talking to a brick wall.

    That's because you are repeating yourself.
    As far as I am concerned, the topic ended on the day 1. What followed was people killing time.

    It didn’t end because there seems to be people that think the government needs to step in and save them instead of just accepting that their own actions have put them in the position they’re in.
