    I completely forgot that this still even existed. I remember reading about them in early 2019. Whoever is at the helm of $2.50 a mile freight has no idea how to operate a business. They want business to be an even playing field. Well, guess what? Business is not fair. Business is hard. I guess they are the ones who never figured out how not to haul freight below $2.50 per mile and they lost their ### so bad that they need the government to step in to make things fair. Waaa Waaa Waaa.

    Does anyone know how to avoid hauling freight for less than $2.50 per mile? I do. If you don't like the rate then you don't agree to haul the freight. Bang! Simple. When we don't like the rate we have to decide whether to haul that freight or not. So what does a man do when you don't like the rate? Cry? Complain? Sure, some might. You know what I do? I try to negotiate a better rate that suits my operation. If the broker or the shipper doesn't want to pay a higher rate or even negotiate the rate it is time to pass on that freight and go find a new load.

    Why is it that so many in the trucking industry are so #### worried about what the brokers are making? Who gives a ####? Do you ##### and moan at McDonald's about how much profit they are making off of each burger? Do you ask McDonalds to provide you with how much money they make? NO! NO! NO!

    It is none of their business how much money someone else is making. Worry about what you are making.

    Rant over. Sorry for gettin' angry.

    Read the article. I couldn't help but laugh

    From some of the recent threads it seems like a ton of people are on the verge of going under. People yelling out for more regulations. They weren't saying that 2-3 years ago when it was booming. Should of stashed away some more cash for the lean times.

    Do you know what the difference is between a lot lizard and a high end call girl? Location...one of them is working in the parking lot.

    Sounds as if lots of people don’t like the parking lot right now.

    @OLDSKOOLERnWV these came up in another post. I came across this video on the YouTube. Thought you would find it interesting. Something I learned. Always thought Caddilac had the first OHV-V8. Here they bought it from Hall-Scott.

    I did.

    There was some dude that started talking about the differences in fuel costs between a hood and an aero truck over a 3 million mile career. That’s parking lot mentality. Who in the heck would plan a career to see how many miles you can run? That’s the lot lizard looking at a parking lot with a hundred fifty truck hoping she can blow half of them. That’s her skipping showers and hygiene to get to the next guy.

    Of course, when you point out to someone that their economics is disgusting, they change their story and start throwing big numbers at you. Sure pal, you’re running for $3/mile all mile and 120000 miles per year, but yet You are clamoring for more legislation. If you can get $3/mile and run that many miles, your prices are too cheap. Up your rates and cut your miles.
