    You do know that they do random drug testing don't you? We have loads that are about 4 hour drive each way and pay $4+ per mile and loaded both ways. No strings attached, only one stop at each end. We have other customers that pay by the hour up to $135 an hour. Oh, and the brokered loads were legal size and weight. Just because you are unable to get more than $2 per mile does not mean that they are not there.

    I have a friend that is pulling $2 per mile for ALL miles and has no lack of work and this is from a broker.

    You are the one accepting the rate, not the fault of the broker. When are people going to take responsibility for their own actions? Get a backbone and learn a simple word.... NO!

    Now my @TripleSix impersonation....

    But I have bills to pay... Yeah we all do.

    You have to stand up for yourself even if it means that you suffer in the short term. Sounds to me like more of a lack of a plan and knowledge.

    Now stop the sniveling and get to work.

    No, I do not use brokers. I have my own customer base that keeps me quite busy.

    If you are going to be in LA next week, I can put you to work.

    Had to get my 6 year old to decipher that but ok, keep telling yourself it's not you and blame the system.
    I only ran 44,000 miles last year. And from the sounds of it did better than most that run 100,0000. The cheap hauler that I am.:p

    I think i lost iq points trying to read that but.. someone honestly thinks brokers and megas are in some sort of secret club trying to stick it to the little guy? Man I bet they have some really cool decoder rings and stuff. on another note I just bought a pallet of tinfoil from Costco, I think I should pass it around.

    I think the op should post some of his rate confirmations. Why not, op?
