    Absolutely. I’ve been getting the Amazon scam. Someone purchased this or that. All BS. A lady called my wife’s phone last week asking to speak to me. She asked why not call him? Why call me. She responded that all she needed was my SS number. Lol. That’s all!! Unbelievable.

    Here's a bunch more for ya

    “Spot rates are now about 17% below truckload fleet operating costs in Q2"

    Lower rates beginning to impact freight capacity as 'pendulum of pricing power' sits with shippers - TheTrucker.com


    "With marginal fleets scrambling for miles with busted budgets, spot rates have gone far below costs. But this can only go so long."

    StackPath

    Publicly traded U.S. fleets have begun reporting Q1 earnings, and they aren’t pretty. Spot market rates continue to be below operating costs, squeezing smaller carriers out of the marketplace.

    Regardless if you just looked on load board that's all the proof you'd need.

    I ain't been gone more than 2 weeks and still nothing has changed. Gonna need a bunch more of you to hang it up so the dreamers left over can chase that load board dream.
