    Good luck getting that point across. I have been saying the same thing. Undercutting prices is the root of all of this. Fuel is rediculous but if companies and O/O's have a unity of pricing, shippers have no choice but to pay that price. If every load paid $.25-$.75 more cpm fuel prices would be a pain but it would be cutting back on people getting that big screen they wanted, not starving their families and going bankrupt.

    I say nothing will ever work if we can't show we can be united. We are fractured and they know it and use it against us.
    I totally agree. Nobody should ever pull a load at a loss. ANd even if you got every owner operator to agree you'd still have the swift and JB of the world who can afford to haul at a loss for a LONG time. Long enough to put the owners out of business. There is always going to be that guy who is about out of business and has to take that $1 mile load just tomake his truck payment. That's why I think it's a good thing when those guys go out of business. We need to be rid of people like that. There is so many guys running around with there own authority tht shouldn't have it and don't know wht they are doing. They are factoring loads becuse they don't have any money. I think I saw that factoring is equivalent to a few hundred percent APR. Ya, That's good business sense. These are the guys who will b out of business when they blow a rear end etc but untill they go out of business

    danny....post those email addy's

    ok so say we get freight rates to double, and we're all ok with that im sure.

    the cost of everything else we buy only goes up 50%

    as far as i can see, and please point out where i am wrong, we'll be at the same place we are now....only in a bigger boat
