    Im hispanic. I was not born in this country, but by the grace of god Im here in a great country with great opportunities.
    I dont think Ive ever hauled at that rate and am always looking for better opportunities.
    Race might play a part sometimes, not always the case.

    LOL. I guess in some instances
    But if youre only plan is to compete on prices, youve got a bumpy road ahead.

    Loved that video lol, I've been on rt 119 in a fuel tanker a few times, you get on some of those back roads in ky, wv, va, the 4whleers will never hit the breaks, the ditch and the gas peddle they will hit hard but never the break lol

    No you spoke the truth without knowing the whys and how's, because men from India marryinto a pre-arranged marriage and is paid a very good dowery to marry the daughter of the family. The more money the daughters family has the bigger the dowery. I've never heard of a broke Indian from Delhi have you? plus when they are in this country their Temple financially assists them if necessary not including the benefits they get from this county. But that's another thread.

    I am working on a video that is going to actually get into the math involved and show drivers how much they are hurting themselves taking cheap freight.

    And you won't be the first. It's really simple math to explain it, yet O/Os and percentage-paid L/Os will still haul cheap freight. Why? Well, we know that already.
