My meaning is....when you carriers see loads going for 50 - 60 cents....you see who they are sold to?...just the other week I was loading up besides a hot shotter from TX loading up his flat bed with 4 bins going to Laredo...and he was in 7th heaven...it he had legitimate decals of some...
You see the sylectus list of carriers... There are hot shoters and regular trucking company's .... Some of them using expedite loads as back hauls ! They are happy as pie to get a paid load back home
That Was quite the penny Dave! Yes some of these very same carriers are partly to blame in the name of profit. the alliance/sylectus . Allowed many a shady character access to their load board ...there were very little checks and balances in the system. And now we have this mess!
Funnythings come across your mind while you're driving...A broker laughs at you when you asked for handload they say it's only 70 boxes I think they forget there's two ends to a load unless the boxes are going to walk off at the other end by themselves!! Lol
btw... Am fueling up !
Because they have a truck payment
because they have a lower miles per gallon
because they have higher insurance premiums
I enjoyed meeting you that one time Steve!
Yes and logbook drivers can get an extra couple miles in in their day...like am surprised Walker hasn't cashed in Wisconsin must be one of the last 65 mile an hour states!
I like the recent trend of sneaky taxes, hidden tax....and they make you feel good at the same time....
Increase the speed limit!! nothing like dropping ones MPG and having to buy more fuel!! oh gee more fuel tax revenue...how'd that happen!
