    Its weird man, people bought out toilet paper, bleach, paper towels, but i went to the soap aisle in Walmart yesterday, and ain't nobody buying any Dial or any type of soap to bathe or to wash their hands and face, so there may be a level of misguided stupidity

    That's the $4 and $5/mile loads all the van drivers are hoping to get? What about 10 hours to get loaded after sitting in line all night? LMFAO

    They can have that :biggrin_2559:
     
    Linte_Loco, Opus, D.Tibbitt and 2 others Thank this.

    Well DAT still looks like a bunch of cheap garbage, just more of it, to me. Any increase is probably being absorbed by the broker barricade.

    Meanwhile the company driver will just have to sit longer to load/unload.
     
    D.Tibbitt, JonJon78 and Cat sdp Thank this.
