    Screen Shot 2018-06-19 at 2.39.27 PM.png I'm not sure why a broker would be scared either. Higher rates mean more money for everybody. When the pizza gets larger, so do all the slices.

    Not for the ones that have contracts. And the demographic is not even close.

    You have contract freight with a broker in the middle? How does that happen?

    I don't have any contract freight. There's agents and brokers that have contracted rates that are gonna spread them cheeks wide until January, we're just getting started.

    Double?

    You know me pretty well, so don't take offense when I have a double take and scream BS.

    If the rates are doubling, then they can double the #### payroll to company drivers too.

    We're seeing a record amount of incoming rate requests like never before. I'm even seeing superload rate requests coming from the website which is unheard of.

    Once again, I'm glad I missed on contract bids last year. This year, I'm not even entertaining the notion.

    President Trump. Someone finally with a brain addressing the interstates and roadways, and bridges that look like the wrong end of an artillery range.
    That's an awful lot of equipment and material to be moved around.
