    Too bad thousands more are signing up for those crooked lease purchase "rental jobs" ...

    The only difference is who is getting the truck payment.

    heres my 2 cents. I am all for a shutdown and if you can't afford to shutdown for a day or two, you need to get out of this business.

    What does this have to do with low rates? They are all driving for companies supporting higher rates.

    Totally true, its actually called cash flow. As long as the money flow is there, everything works,. My advice, slow down smell the roses, keep the points away, BETTER Things ARE COMING.!!!!!!!

    when this new csa2010 comes down on you & they try to shut you down or
    just give you a high scores on logs or safty and brokor wont load your trailers then you'll wish that you had done some thing !!!!!!

    Realistically, all we have to do is "get sick" for 24 hours!

    Remember no one can force you to drive if you are too ill or fatigued to operate.

    You're right. look at those ugly, dirty trucks & trailers that ready to fall apart (supposed to be in the junk yard !). they haul for low paying freight and when time come to fixing/repairing or maintaince the equipments, they don't have the $ to do it. and the DOT love to check out those junk trucks.

    Has everything to do with it ...

    Do you really think these outfits are stocking their fleets with "overhead free" trucks and drivers so they can charge themselves out of business?

    Not a chance.
