    The government mandated all this emissions BS on trucks which has sunk 1000's of owner operator and costed many that haven't sunk 1000's of $dollars$ in repairs and money spent on DEF...

    Mandated Elogs which hasn't helped any one truck operators... It costs money...

    Now these idiots protesting want the government to step in and "help" them with brokers...


    LMFAO

    How dumb can owner operators out here really get?

    Words that should make all of us leery:

    "I'm from the government, and I'm here to help."

    I don't see too many Americans going to Russia or India to open up trucking companies. But I have noticed that around half or better of American trucking companies are owned by People from Russia, Poland and India. Let's not inadvertently recreate what those folks came here to get away from.

    Why did you go to Michigan?
    everything is shut down and no freight. Hope you got a good rate going in.

    Those countries are not socialist. They have a capitalist economy with huge government run social programs.
