Who the hell is doing single pick/drop .50/mile cars?

I can’t speak for other parts of country
But in the NE especially Jerzy and Eastern Pa
There’s seems to be an onslaught of 3-5 car 5th wheels runnin around like morons...Seems like they’ve increased 1000% of the last year or so

 

I was in a rest area in Maryland on a Friday afternoon and there was 7 of them parked empty for the weekend. I went in and talked to the visitor booth lady to see if she had contact with the state patrol. She said it was a constant problem. Kick a group out and another would show up.

 

Here in north Texas they’re running around like ants. None of them know how to park. They take up two spots and it’s screw you to the big rigs. I honestly don’t know how they’re staying in business.

 

So many of them won't haul anything that's not COD or very quick pay... They literally need the cash to be able to pay for their next tank of fuel.

And there's plenty of them running without a CDL because of the artificially low trailer GVW ratings on the wedgies.

 

When I was hauling cars Manheim auctions were overrun with them most barely spoke any English.

 

RV transporter back haul. Got to pay for diesel to get back to Indiana for another $2 a mile load.

 

just once I want to grab 6 pop up trailers for $1.00 a mile and roll around Elkhart
