    I was already leaning that way anyway but that breakdown is simple to understand and hard to argue with

    Ah, yes, that "driver shortage" that I've been hearing about since 1984 (and probably existed before that). This is just 'code' for "we need to bring in more foreign drivers who will gladly work for crap wages"; nothing more.

    Nah I wouldn't take shots at you for that. I wouldn't take shots at you at all, you don't seem like the type a fella who needs shot taken at. Maybe take some shots with ya tho.

    I know it may be hard to believe but sometimes I'm not the most patient person. Couple that with my ability to say dumb things and it can get me into quite the pickle sometimes. You make a good point, communication has never been my strongest attribute. I've definitely never been complimented on it.

    Shoot man, why'd you have to go and bring math and facts into it. I was already chasing the pie in the sky. I can already picture my boat that I paid cash for with owner op money. Are you telling me these things use that much diesel all the time?! I reckon insurance prices will start coming down any day now. Government is on top of it, I'm sure they won't screw it up or make it worse.

    I rarely have to go a truck stop on my current route, only if I need to top off a reefer before dropping at Nestle. I don't miss them at all. I kind of miss getting points but not that much. They got a pump at the yard here. Honestly it's great.

    I never spent much either. I think they make most of their money nowadays on data. Warren Buffett owns pilot now I think. And he owns all the trains too. So I'm sure they're doing something with the data. All that info you gotta enter to turn the pump on. And then everyone has the app which just constantly gathers all the rest of the data.

    Trucking super Cycle Confirmed. Time to leverage everything and start buying used trucks blindly.

    Craig Fuller says drivers are not commodities, but freight is.
