    I'd bet the 3500$ is right, the 4500$ is a scam.
    Or the $4500 broker got the load from the 3500$ broker. 4500$ broker gets paid, carrier never will. Seeing it all the time here

    Is that a load for one of those expediter vans, lol. I’m in Columbia, SC 25 minutes away from Lexington. Deadheading home from New Stanton, PA.
    Habibi and his brother Habibi probably scooped that up without even trying for $10 more.

    20240510_140348.jpg More and more places are taking EBT now. Things are definitely getting worse.

    However unemployment is the lowest ever despite all these layoffs. And the economy is booming. Despite more people being on food stamps.

    The truth is the economy is great for the wealthy but everyone else is struggling.

    When you have tax cuts drop from 35% to 21%.

    Throw in loopholes.

    I don't know how you all paid less taxes. Mine stayed the same. But I'm not a millionaire.

    I don’t think food stamps is going to go far at loves. Somebody might lose their whole weekly allowance, trying to buy a tiny bite. Loves is about the most expensive place on the planet! Loves isn’t even ashamed at all, they act like they have good prices. All you Gotta do is go to a KwickTrip/Star for a reality check!
