    Not at all but being from a courier back ground and haul for smaller companies back in the late 90's some skids did go for $400 to 500. Some even went for $1000. Its a shady business and always has been I just wanted more transparency with the loads as they mentioned they would. But they aren't putting any numbers down on paper showing O/o what they are getting the loads for just the 80% and a small payment for the O/o. Which is why I am looking into mileage rate pay because at least if I drive 2500 mi's for the week and they pay me $2.50/mile I'm getting $6250.
    You're right and that is the thing. Now they want me to speak with other favorite O/o they have who they hype up that probably will feed me more b.s. in order of trying to make me stay saying it will get better but the damage is already done.

    Yeah, I was just trying to find a quick example regarding narrative for my point of freight rates but seemed to have used the courier platform rather than the freight one. Point being there seems to be a lot of scams from brokers and companies when paying some lease on owner operators.
