    I'm not insisting on anything. The statute is already in place.

    I've been in business for a long time. I learned long ago I'm basically an open book to anyone that wants to know numbers.

    Just because I've chosen which side of the fence I prefer to be on, doesn't necessarily make it the wrong side.

    And many people should "know" more.

    I mean now someone is asserting if those settlements are really for multiple trucks. (3)

    I mean if I was knocking back 20 large a week with one truck, that still wouldn't be enough???

    I shall work harder.

    You're not an open book, your competition doesn't know your operating cost.

    Have had trucks since before de-regulation, so i've been in it a long time also.

    I'm on both sides of the fence, company trucks, O/O's and brokerage.

    This whole thing went nowhere previous times, nor will it this time.

    I haven't been in trucking long as an O/O.
    3.5 years.

    I'm a retired electrician. Did large commercial work.

    I've posted my, and argued operating costs on this site until I was blue in the face, and denounced as a heratic.

    Dave, if that's you in your avatar you don't look blue in the face.

    Wichris, just who is that in your avatar and what does it say? I can't tell.

    And you shouldn’t either. Most carrier packets have a sentence or two about not disclosing rates or customers.
