But imma be kind and help you, is there quite a few of brokered freight here? Yes
Could it had been as high $4 a mile before it was brokered? Sure
When it wasn't as slow as it was now there we're plenty of options dealing with brokered freight even though at times it was frustrating to deal with. They're plenty of agents who have great direct customers with steady and good paying freight. Now does LS have flaws, yes quite a few, but is it as doom & gloom you make it out to be?? No, nowhere near
