    Rumors about TMC fly every time things get tough. Also, there is really no such as freight rights. Customers would be the ones to decide what carrier to use. Paying TMC would not necessarily get Maverick anything.
     
    SHC Thanks this.

    Besides, why would a cheap freight hauler pay another cheap freight hauler for their cheap freight????

    They'd just go in and underbid them if they really wanted it.

    hey, thats uncalled for , no reason to throw desk jockey out there like ita an insult. look dude, fact is you apprently stayed on at a local carrier way to long , and was going broke and got out.

    you know as well as i and anyone else on this thread know this didnt happen in a two or three week period. you werent watching the bottom line close enough and didnt see it coming,, or you saw it and ignored it.


    frankly in the area you are in , there are several carriers you could have leased with and made dang good money.

    but there could have been tradeoffs, like maybe not being home every weekend .


    i myself would rather stay out longer than to see my kids running around like the ethiopians kids with their bellies swelled up you see in national geographic


    with the way you resorting to name calling ( the desk jockey remark) i can readily see one of your business problems . you probably cant discusss anything with someone without getting mad and saying stupid stuff.


    now you laid it out here on the public forum, live with the comments . but zip up the insults

    but in reality i have heard rumors cpape is one of the best desk jockeys around, he has won the kentucky desk derby 4 years in a row with a 25 year old retired iowa school school teaches desk with one leg shorter than the the other three
     
    cpape and Lilbit Thank this.
