What is it going to take to get rates up? What can truckers do to make it happen?

Look at this guy bragging about $2.00/mile freight LOL!!!!
And pulling a skateboard, to boot.
My uncle hauled $1.50/mile flatbed freight in 1975.

These guys will never learn.
Rates will continue to go nowhere.
As will wages.
And when illegals are granted CDL's to fix the driver "shortage"...well...you ain't seen nothin yet!!!
Yessir, take a ride on the NAFTA highway.
Do not pass GO!
Do not collect $200.00!

 

You seem to have a prescribed pecking order for achieving knowledge of a field of work for and from another individual. so just how much "experience" do you feel is required before a driver is allowed to get to know the other aspects of this industry? I guess you (since you own such a radically large business...what did you say 3 company trucks and 5 O/O's...massive absolutely you must have Schneider, Gordon, Interstate, Swift, and all the rest just quivering in fear that you, with all your knowledge and perfection in the trucking industry, will come around and put them and all other companies out of business.

 

Did we just pass a pig farm with the gates open? Another "perfect trucker" heard from, within minutes from the other...hmmmsomething is afoot here Holmes!

the only thing missing in that post is: "My daddy can beat up your daddy!" But I seem to recall a child book I read to my kids...somthing like "Paddington Bear, goes to the circus"! The circus is here on the Truckers Forum I guess!

 

You should not be concerned, as you will not achieve the high level of success I have.

 

Since you don't know me or my past, and I am sure you can't predict the future...you are clueless...as for the future...we will see!

 

So....What's your point there sourpuss?

You talk a lot of trash for someone who doesn't do this for a living.
All you ever seem to do is come on here and talk trash about things you seem to know little or nothing about!


I do what I do and I make ###### good money at it...I hauled for way more than a buck fifty a mile in the mid 70's...Do I say your uncle was a fool for hauling for a buck fifty when I was getting more?

No!

Rates are a little depressed these days but a guy that has a brain can make money at these rates unless he's one of those that hauls dollar a mile broker freight.
