You should have called her up and thank her for her not understanding how this business works.

You have the rate you are willing to haul for......never apologize for that. Besides, it's a good feeling to be able to stand on principle when so many others don't/won't.

 

Edit: I'm laughing so hard my eyes are watering! Most guys flat refuse to name, names. Good for you!

There have been (are and will be) "those drivers that get all giggly" that had taken (are and will take) 2000 +/- 500 mile Loads (from truck stop load boards) out of florida for something akin to $.59-.84 a mile at 44K.
Maybe they were stuck (or drunk) for a few days, maybe they liked paying to haul.
