    You're correct about Convoy. I've almost always found the best rates there.

    No way Steve. You mean to tell me you actually went out and did the hard work, learned your lanes got to know your Brokers so you don't need to be dependent on the government. Wow amazing how that free market works isn't it. :p

    Read this article and just look at what CH Robinson is claiming they are down in the 3rd Quarter of 2019. Oh I feel so sorry for them. Never sell yourself for less than you are worth when others are making this kind of money off of your hard work.

    Sure is.

    Also funny how doing consistently good work will often get you a better rate from our end of things... :)

    I think it would have to be both because that could KILL small companys if there paying 5 an hour that can really kill profits.
