    My feel is no, but has BJ and the Bandit on loop

    IDK about Ike. He used to post a lot and maybe he said something sideways. But he used to drive (for a lot of different company's).
    But I like Ike.
    The rest of them I have no time for.

    He’s probably making 6 figures just from his clickbait videos.

    USX with $484M in debt. If that doesn’t keep a CEO awake at night...:confused:

    I hope we don’t all end up having to drive for them. Sheesh!

    I dont really see any of this mega carrier drama having much impact on my very very tiny corner of the world and like alot of us here we have seen the rise and fall of titans before .
    Outcome is always the same other than the size of the bankruptcy auction and when the dust settles life goes on.
    In the information age it's interesting to watch and maybe yrc or whatever they are calling themselves these days will finally mercifully kick the bucket next .

    The problem isn’t just in trucking. It’s in banking, retail, and internet search engines too. The kind of market power WalMart wields isn’t healthy. They basically tell producers what they are willing to pay and if they don’t agree to it, they’ll *create* a product similar to theirs from somewhere in China under their own house brand and keep the profit.

    There’s no good reason to have any bank that is more than 5% of the total market. We need them to be like legs of a stool so in case one fails, they’re backed up by the others.
