    If you really want to increase Freight rates then sell your truck and go find another line of work.

    Have you heard that almost 50 million out of work now and majority of the manufacturing is shut down?
    Where would the good rates come from?
    Should oil field truckers do a slow roll in Fargo to bring awareness about collapse in oil prices?

    The general public doesn't care about rates. All these slow rolls do is piss of the public. And those clowns In DC honking their horns are making us all look bad. I hope they all go broke.

    My fixed costs are $17.24/day and I have no business or personal debt of any kind. The economy will be back and the free market will increase Freight rates on it's own when the weak drown so there's no need for protests or rallies.

    Since I'm a company stiff, I have no idea what
    The rates are.
    All I know is I haven't stopped in months.
    Money is just piling up in my bank account,
    Because I got no place to spend it.

    Let us know when and where your gonna do
    Your slow roll, so the rest of us can find a detour.

    You should all surround the headquarters of TQL and ch Robinson,
    And the other big brokers.
    They're the ones sticking it to you.
    Drive your truck through the front door if you really want to get
    Some attention.
