    What do you pull that you think rates haven't been fair since September? What do you call a fair rate anyway?

    Even rates put of Wi and IL aww down, and they dont pay well to go to other good areas. But what you said is fair and correct.

    Yea that's rule number one, don't tell others your customers or how much it'll take them to undercut you.

    See you speak of customers which means you have your own authority, and have contracted freight. That is not what I posted about orginally, and Authority owners want to hijack the thread talking about 500k revenue a year. Not right

    If that’s your fair rate, and my fair rate is higher, now who’s hauling “cheap “ freight?

    Your higher rate is in regards to loads from the load board? Or contracted?
