    I agree. I just went through a few of those and they are paying under 2.50 a mile and some are not even at 2 bucks a mile. I take it that those rates include FSC?

    The rates are being artificially deflated to keep the food affordable. The draught caused futures to fall, reducing the value of perishable freight. Price fixing by the USDA and the FED is a wonderful thing, isn't it?

    if you won't run the freight at the current rates, will you change to dry van or flatbed or tanker?

    How do you artificially deflate the number of trucks in an area and the number of loads that need to be moved on a certain day?

    The USDA controls the ag production in the US. That artificially controls prices.
