    Don't mean to be negative, but this could have easily been one of those "gotta be true" CB stories.

    In other words, I'll believe it when I see it.

    Every month, somewhere, you will see the same article...............

    Let us watch and see how things go !!!!!!


    Before the end of this year, drivers will be getting layed off, or they will be sitting for even longer periods of time- waiting on a load !!!!

    These stories have been around since the 90's ... even the wage amounts were the same ... :biggrin_2556:
