    This is SNI not us, and I'm not trying to say they are bad. We know better then to compete with company drivers. But hey, they have drop and hook freight. When I was with a maga I liked drop n hook. Of course I worked for .90¢ a mile then.

    Yep, but even the big orange can't be so bad to cancel your lease for spot checking them. Now if we were talking about cr england....

    Yes, but I don't think 80%+ are stupid.
    Actually I was told that 97% of the new trucking businesses fail .

    I don't think 80 percent are stupid. I think 95 percent are. Just look at how many sign up for 80 cpm plus fsc contracts when there are plenty of carriers where you can make a full dollar a mile more.

    I don't know a single company, where you can
    make $2 per mile average with right now. Obviously you know many of them.
    Could you share your list with us, please?
    Farm2Fleet is one of them, right?

    No matter how many regulations, stipulations, organizations, registrations, manipulations, fraternizations, populations, master drivers, corporations, legalizations, illegalizations, flatulations or infatuations I've already forgot my medications.

    Do some of your own research, any answer that's given to you till this point your response is either doubtful or negative. You need someone here to drive your truck also? Starting to really wonder about you... :help:

    That government that you want to lean on shares much of the blame for these failures.

    Thanks to regulation, we are paying an insane amount for a truck these days.

    Thanks to regulation, the emissions being forced into these trucks have become a major player in forcing people into bankruptcy. When you go buy a new truck today, the odds are stacked against you due to the high risk of that truck having multiple and costly breakdowns.

    Thanks to regulations, our hours of service not only got screwed up from a system that worked great for decades, it's now got even more screwed up with electronic monitoring. This only costs the driver more money.

    Thanks to regulations, unless enough truck drivers will get vocal and fight, our productivity is about to suffer even more due to trucks being slowed down.

    The list of how government continues to screw up this and every other small business is enormous.

    Considered pulling a reefer? That side of the industry is now transitioning into a big mess thanks to a heaping pile of new government regulation. Look for a few more small businesses to fail thanks to that.

    People need to wake up and see reality, or the generations to follow are really going to suffer at the hands of this government you want us to be 100% dependent on.
