    This here is why I parked my truck. Shippers and brokers will not budge because they know there are plenty dummies that will run for $1.25 a mile, so they just sit on their fat wallets and continue to build their bank accounts at the dummies expense. Let fuel keep rising, $1.25 a mile dummies aready are dropping like flies, problem is there is so many of them it's gonna take a while for all them to go belly up. I think the big companies are hauling cheap freight for cash flow purposes to stay afloat. I will not run my equipment unless I can make a profit, no loads under $2 a mile and right now they are just too hard to find. I didn't go broke so I can afford to sit parked awhile. It's better to be parked and not putting wear & tear on my truck & trailer than to be wearing it out with no profit to repair or repalce it. I would bet that brokers and shippers are making more money for themselves and not paying any more than they have to the trucks since fuel went up.
