    Loose lips sink ships, if someone knows what the rates are, they wouldn't be to smart if they shared those rates, this would lead to someone cutting the rates to get the business. This has been an ongoing problem since deregulation in 1980, truckers are their own worst enemy. I have heard some drivers on the cb radio boasting of a certain rate that they were getting, pretty soon they didn't have that business anymore. It is time that EVERYONE in the industry keep quite about the rates and stop giving away the fort. I mentioned this to one poster a while back and he said that he had plenty of business and that he wasn't worried about it since he was retired and just doing this for fun. But what about his peers that are trying to make a living out here? How intelligent is that?

    It sure wasn't a 50000$ thousand dollar purchase more like a 5000$ purchase on a very small payment plan cause some people are willing to help out a little and give you a brake to start

It to have people question or give their opinion or judge I'm feed up of people telling me what I can and cannot do this is my dream and wish to realize it before I die
