What am I missing?

You're my freakin' hero! But I fear you may be starving soon!

 

I am starving as we speak(yes)...

But i am a MAN WITH SOME INTEGRITY..I refuse to bow down to this ''slave wage''...I just flat out refuse to work 100 hours a week,gone all week away from my loved ones for a ''slave'' wage....

But dont worry someone ''WILL DO IT''..There will be a ''desperate'' driver that will take the job....LMAO

 

OMG!!! I hate it that you had to go thru that. Sincerely I do, no one with your experience etc should have to have that happen. But... if indeed you really said all that and I believe you did. Yippeeeeeeeeeeee, I am glad you did and I wish that I had been there to see that. LMAOLOLOLOL
If all else fails when I come out there mid Feb, you can teach me to back LMAO

 

thats some ####, I see a lot of NO's and its a seven day a week job for only $400-$500. I believe I would be quite upset myself. THATS BAD!!!!!!

 

Well I just hope you don't have to get to the point where you finally understand the rest of us. No one WANTS to be a scab. It's not like we're actively bidding down freight. It is what it is and it's going to get where it's going. You're either in a position to turn it down or not. I still say it's theoretically better to run, even if you're not covering maintenance and replacement because if not you'll have to use your savings to live, and if it takes a while to recover, you won't be able to maintain or replace when the time comes anyway. You have to believe that freight will recover though.

 

try it again at 50 or 51 LOL

 

I fear this economy is going to get out of control, Its already bad, but I think its going to get worse and a lot worse. I here on the news of all the job loses around my area and other areas, its not good.

 

Well, my hope is that they are laying off because there has already been less to ship, and they have a lot of people standing around. But, if they are going to start producing even less because of the layoffs, we're all screwed.

 

It allready is out of control..And it is getting worse.We will all be trucking for food before to long..lol..
The prediction is more trucking companies will be long gone by 2010..

 

well on the news yesterday they said ( steel mill name ) can't remember the name but it was a big company, that they shut down to 50% of what they were doing and the CEO said America needs to wake up that we are no longer in a recession we are in a depression.
