    It's not the Swifts of the world that run the market down for us... it's our own. I do think the Swifts do cut rates but for the most part we're in a different levels as far negotiations go. It's the other O/Os and small fleets that are essentially cutting each others throats... and the #### brokers. If all the independents just stood their ground and refused to haul cheap the rates would have to come up.

    And by the way... I've always wanted a pink truck... but Dirk refuses to drive one and won't let me.
    BUT
    Some day... some day.. I will have one :biggrin_2559:

    No not right now. But like everything it depends on where your at and where your going. Are odometer average is has been above 2 for awhile now.

    The market has been really funny last week thou. Normally there is 3000+ loads around Chitown. Today only 1300.

    Carfax is a joke and had nothing to do with it - when I first started, I was in court 3-4 days a week. After a year or so, most of the cases would settle, I'd only go to court once or twice a month, so I just knocked out diminution reports.

    Carfax also has nothing to do with a vehicle's warranty or repair history, and it's that history that is in question with these cases.

    Word of info, further off topic, don't trust carfax, and certainly don't spend the $19.99 for a subscription... total waste of time and a marketing scam.
     
    Ken, Texas-Nana and Strider Thank this.

    I second that motion. But they hacked it for fuel mileage supposedly. I won't do another of of these kinda trucks. Id rather be in a fld or century to be honest. But maybe they re-engineered some #### ups in the newer ones.

    I love red but everyone has red now, I think pink would be awesome! If we ever go O/O the company name will be "Pigs Flew, Inc." because we always say "we'll go O/O when pigs fly. LOL My hubby wouldn't want pink either but..........I have ways of getting what I want. :biggrin_25525:










    Often a small pillow held tightly over a man's face will woo him to your line of thought. :biggrin_2554:

    One of my grandsons (one of the 4 year old twins) absolutely LOVES purple. He almost passes out when talking about purple. :biggrin_2559::biggrin_2559::biggrin_2559:
