    Same problem with the fake postings, at least on TS they know how to cheat the milage and a few other dirty tricks they got.

    Actually, all of your questions have been answered, but maybe not to your satisfaction; because what it sounds like you want is for someone to give you a market report so you don't have to do your own homework to figure out your next move. You stated you don't want to change company's because you're happy with them..then fine. ASK THEM WHAT THE MARKET IS LIKE, since you're so enamored of them but don't want to change or do your own homework or look dumb in front of them if you don't know what you're getting into. You asked general questions with general information. If you don't know what the market is like near you where you live and state you want to stay near, then how is anyone else supposed to know what the market is like where you live? Check out DAT reports that are free if you want to see what the general freight rates are, but if you want someone to paint you a rosy picture because you're not able to get the high rates you were getting that are now in the "trash", don't expect anyone to give you their information on a whim and then cry they aren't giving you want you want. That's why they said, Stay in van, or in your case, PO, since that's where you are. Entitled you ain't.

    Nobody in business for themselves would be smart to talk their competitors about money or a certain lane..

    Absolutely correct getting into open deck. Any tub can slam doors for $0.70 mile.

    You could try asking better questions. The answers you want are out there but you might not like them.

    Right now there's over 500 loads available for step and flat in a 200 mile radius with an average of $4 mile.

    I set my filter at $3. So there may be a whole lot more.
