<p>[QUOTE="G/MAN, post: 2532092, member: 48687"]We don't need to strike. We need more people who understand how to run a business. We need people who refuse to take a load for less than it costs them to run the truck and make a profit. We need to raise the bar of entry into this business. We don't need to strike. If you own the truck who are you going to strike against? If you are not making money on your freight then raise your prices. You don't have to take loads for the rate offered. There are some who will take the first load offered without any attempt to negotiate a fair rate. All they want is to keep the wheels turning, regardless of whether that load is profitable or not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
