    At least it was in a plastic bag, come too some of the Chicago rail yards with me, drivers just poop behind the boxes. I've stepped in a pile or two not paying attention.

    Hey Florida drivers protesting the cheap






    "The owner-operators of 18 wheelers are angry at the rates they are paying for hauling freight. They say the middlemen or brokers paid to forward freight keep most of the money to themselves, leaving owner operators unable to make ends meat. "

    Hey here's an idea! Instead of protesting STOP HAULING THE CHEAP FREIGHT! Get out of Florida if need be

    I hate to beat the same drum. I really do. But these are the same guys who make it possible to achieve so much in this industry. Also the same guys throwing plastic bombs in rest area's or where ever they feel. God love them . They just make a ole southern slub like myself look great. I would prefer that they not block the road when I'm deadheading out of there though.

    I'm impressed that they actually did something. Too bad the reporting is piss poor. Is it that hard to.find a couple of industry experts for deep background? Gasoline costs too much for truckers? Come on!

    Owner ops now how much they make going into to Fla and how much they will make coming out before even going. Texas is not the best either, but go ahead and try that there.
