Why does "backhaul" refer to cheap freight?

im expecting $4.25 by next wensday

im so angry right now....grrrrrrrrrrr

 

I think you'd be surpised how many shippers will caugh up the money when they are flat out told.. NO, and then just leave it at that without trying to hit them up for more money

 

Well maybe this is the start of sitting. I told my broker/leaser that when it hits 4.25 I'm done and he actually has some trucks and he said he's going to do the same. If we can get enough people to sit at 4.25 this could be a start.....

 

im already sitting so there!!!

 

me too. I've been on strike since Jan 1st. Don't know what you all have been up to?

 

It's to the point, I have to use a comm check tomorrow I am so low in the account.

 

Don't think this will make you all feel better and I'm sorry but we have been at this O/O full time for 26+ yrs. hubby is 58 truck is pd for and to tell you the truth we have seen hard times and seen sloppy operators go by the way side, we have seen small co's that got to dippin to heavy into co's till to support personal pleasures, or just out goofin off instead of Takin' care of Business....but now it has become scary, and if we don't start drillin our OWN oil and building more refineries and forget about all the bunny huggars the the Board of Trade will sell America down the tubes to line their pockets. The board to trade runs up the prices thoese white shirts don't ever work hard enough to sweat but ......oh never mind I'm just so mad I'm gonna hit the showers just got back home from a 5 day tour to see the family. I don't need to get upset after the long drive my pony is tired and I need to relax...
