    The work is there, but the line haul is not.....I know it's not their fault (they've kept us rolling when most others are parked), but the money is lower than last year ( an admittedly bad year) ....
    But, hey, better 67% of something, than 100% of nothing!!!!!!

    Boss and I were talking about it the other day, biggest thing, diesel is cheap, OTR companies are taking loads for pennies on the dollar, under cutting the rails to stay busy, and thus, it's hurting the rest of us.
