wow, you're comparing cupcake manufacturing to the industry that puts our goods(including those cupcskes) on the shelves. An industry that if it were to go on strike would cripple many companies. we transport goods, machinery, supplies,etc. and you compare it to cupcakes!? You dont even realize...

well, Paul, I'm willing to bet you're looking at what the third party broker made instead of what the company that gave them that load made. Again, I am posting in hopes of enlightening drivers to what is being done to us. My point is being completly missed because most of you are wanting to...

what do you suggest, Turtle? you have no answer, you only know how to tear down not build up. that's my point is that we as drivers only have each other to help us, no union of significance and the brokers dint care about us only the cheapest way to get freight from A to B. Let me guess, Turtle...

agreed it was poorly planned and poorly executed. I'm interested to hear your idea of how to better our industry. unless you're content with the fact that brokers make more money for the amount of work they put in compared to drivers.

It's not that I'm complaining about cheap freight only. And if i became a broker I'd be part of the problem not the solution. I've grown up around this lifestyle, it's not the money aspect that I'm wanting people to key on, rather the injustice of brokers pocketing money that should be the...

so im guessing youre a chosen one that is enjoying a great living and has never seen cheap freight! ha ha what a joke. YOU seem to be the one stuck on the negativity. I'm simply saying that the drivers in this industry are not getting what they're worth wheyher it be bad or good rates in...

I understand the discomfort of a strike but its that or continue complaining about something that was brought onourselves. We do a great service for this country, we are what keeps it moving and puts the products on the shelves. Yes there will still be people driving during a strike but not...

I listen to drivers, both expeditors and reg transporters, complain about many things including rates. I wonder how many drivers realize that the are their own worst enemies as far as rates go. We as drivers allow the brokers to pay such low rates for many reasons, the biggest being our...

Yes I understand there is sitting that cannot be avoided. I am only looking to see if I can go through more than one broker for the times I am sitting in hard to get out of areas such as out west for example. I do not have my own authority. I am a driver of a van for a guy that has just a few...
