    This is just to get everyone to shut up and forget about it. It will go nowhere.

    I think my whole family was sick with this thing back in December, but I gotta go do an antibody test to find out for sure.

    Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd

    I'm not saying you didn't, but the largest majority of those tested did not.

    Over 1.6 million tested and less than 6% had it.

    Not very good odds.

    I'm reading this tread, and a few things come to mind. Actually questions.
    1) How are brokers screwing O/O's.
    If the O/O AGREED on the linehaul?
    2) If O/O's are constantly bidding Down
    The rate, why is that the Brokers fault?
    3) What would O/O's do if uncle Sam says that the drivers can only make 8% or 12% or 15% gross...etc.. on any load
    As well? Effectively capping O/O profits as well?
    4) Are 0/0's truly Independent? If they need to rely on brokers and the government to help them?
    5) Why don't 0/0's simply become Brokers if that is where the money is?

    These questions are asked with all due respect.
     
    Michael H, bigguns, clausland and 6 others Thank this.

    Another thought/question... what if in all transparency, the 0/0's have to devulge their operation expenses...and the government says they get x$ above that... I mean the government can toss out some crazy crap!
    Now 0/0 can't fudge operation numbers, cuz it'll be in some data base on which his/her taxes are based upon...

    Very valid questions. All correct.

    Im an independent who uses brokers and is also a broker. ;)

    Why don’t some others? Everyone is different but overall it’s easier to complain.
