Florida truck drivers protesting cheap freight! Shutting downs roads!

Dangit. Something good finally happens in Florida, and I'm stuck outside NYC.

Figures.

 

Wow, it's actually happening. Sort of.

 

I guess the way I see it why cap what a broker gets to keep? You're rates are going to stay the same only difference is the broker is going to get less and the shipper is going to win. Set a minimum haul rate per mile under a certain mileage load has to pay by the hour with a min of such and such an hour. going rate should be no less than $4.00/loaded mile on the hub if you have to bounce more than 50 miles to the next pickup you're paid $2.00/mile for your bounce. It'd solve a lot more than capping a brokerage fee at 10%.

 

I wish that news station would have contacted the clowns at TQL instead of CHR, just to see what type of response if any they would have gotten.

 

Or drivers could just stop moving cheap freight. A guy complained about .87¢. Pfft he needs to just laugh at the guy.

 

FW finally beat me ;p

 

True true, I do give them credit though for at least doing a protest and blocking roads... It won't have any impact though, to small of a shut down
