    I never wanted to unload, no matter how much money it paid, and would pay a lumper. But drivers having a different opinion is not an attack.

    “Gave Me Crap….” sounds a whole lot better than “attacked”. :D

    Owner operators will haul $350,000 worth of machines for $2.20 a mile going to Long Island from GA. Truckers are always the 1s to get hosed. $1,000,000 crane rental on a huge power plant job, with no fail some dumb #### in flip flops will be there to haul the crane parts for a rate I wouldn’t even consider turning my truck on for. Guys stay out 3 weeks at a time and go home for 2 days for less then they’d make at wal mart. Business is in shambles. Sit and really think about it, it is beyond pathetic.

    If you are missing the FB arguments head over to the Politics forum here. Spend an hour there and the FB Rambos will seem like kindergartners.

    Facebook is always fun. I'm no snitch, but it's crazy how many FB Rambos will post videos of them driving down the road with their government name and employer listed on their profile lol. Just begging to have someone rat on them when they're spending all day insulting folks
