Whose fault is it that the rates are so low?

I am not an owner operator but a company driver. Y'all would know..is it because of all the foreign drivers out here now hauling all this cheap freight?? I took a break from trucking for about a year and since I've been back OTR the past 6 months I swear the amount of them has at least tripled.
It's really astounding. Just making an observation. And I dont blame them at all, who doesn't want a better life, but Lord our govt allowing this..maybe I am wrong , sure there are other factors but this seems to be a big one.

 

The whole goal is to cut out the owner operators. They are succeeding.

 

I'll sit or do local runs before I run my truck into the ground for $2 a mile.

Regardless if it keep truck posted even in this market some broker in a bind in the afternoon usually will call as long as I'm not in dead market.
I'll sit as long as I have to until someone willing to pay.

 

Someone needs to throw out a number so that everyone knows exactly what cheap freight is. How can everyone stick together without a definitive definition of cheap?

 

The op is one of them.

 

Well, that went on longer than i expected, one more locked thread

 

When you go broke will they revoke your work visa?

 

I went and made a smoothie and come back and all hell broke loose. Ha Ha
