I am so fed up that my CAREER has now turned into a JOB (Just over Broke) with the way the economy has gone- slow freight, low paying freight, no freight, however you want to phrase it. I refuse to run up and down the road just so I can say I`m busy and putting miles and wear and tear on my equipment just for FUEL MONEY and POCKET CHANGE!!!! With the "ME" mentality out there with every one saying and thinking ~ I`ve got mine so to HELL with you. I know it`s an old story but if you think about it if eveybody on both sides of the border went home and parked their trucks `WE` as a group could bring North America to it`s knees. Just wishfull thinking on my part. The industry has been tested on numerous occasions especially when fuel hit almost $5.00/gal and where found soundly lacking as a unit. We all Bit@#ed about it but did nothing. We are still complaining about freight conditions and still do nothing. If I`m going to go broke it will on my terms and not HAULING CHEAP A $$ FREIGHT.

 

Thank you ampm Wayne. I see you are from Bloomington In. My American Family (friends) live in that area-Bloomfield, Worthington, Lyons and Petersburg.Have spent a lot of time hanging out with them down there. They opened their hearts and homes to me. I will always be truly gratefull to them for their friendship and making me an official member of their family. :smt055

 

I think the saying "Hanging in, hanging out and hanging on" applies here. I hope things turn around for everyone cause I know I`m not the only one on this sinking ship. Down but not out of the game yet!
