    Well certain people on here seem to think so......

    I won't haul ANYTHING that is less than my operating cost (which includes my salary)

    That is funny now..The thing of it is ..That you 2 guys obviously do not read the news and see how the economy is doing out there...

    With the price of oil and goods going up..Peoples money is drying up while you guys think that money like falls out of tree's or something...

    Pretty soon, there will be a decline in the freight that does meet your requirement. The reason will be the economy, meaning the average person, will no longer be able to pay the increased costs. Will it happen overnight, No.

    But consider the following:

    Food prices and other goods have raised in excess of 15% due to transportation costs.

    Fuel costs have raised 33% since January.

    The average person will receive a raise of about 6-8%. Seems to create negative flow of money for essentials.

    Just food for thought.

    Boy you think you are so smart don't you? With this last comment it really shows how smart you think you are. I will gladly answer your question when you decide to answer my question I asked you earlier.

    AM I SUPPOSED TO WORK AT A LOSS OR FOR FREE TO KEEP OUR FIXED INCOMERS HAPPY?


    Now I also have another question for you as well,

    How are you defending our Constitution from people like me? In what way has the Constitution been violated with the rising costs?
