Reality check this 2016 & freight is slow as it was in end of 2008 and the beginning of 2009. The Price of Freight is Lower than it was in 1980..

The price of fuel is going back up. Thanks to the higher fuel tax fuel tax just added.

This is an Election year and we are told its slow. Shippers not shipping.

People loosing there trucks all over the place. Truck Payments - Parts - Fuel - Ins. - tolls it all cost.

What was at one time was a good way to make a living now due to Vampires (Gov't & Brokers)
it is not the case at this time.

Soon will be the case of no more 1099 Contractors that don't have taxes taken out. That's coming soon 2017
is not that far off. Word has it much the Retired Military or Gov worker a modified 1099 will be Example 1099R
like DFAS and other Gov't Agencies have been doing. They take out the Taxes... Contractors and the People
that they drive for will have a choice. 1. make them and Employee 2. The Lines of the 1099R. With taxes taken out along with that Catch on Health Care.

What a mess the DNC & GOP... Done nothing to improve the Economy in the last what 1200 Days.
The President use Executive powers to push the Def and Budget compiling more debt. Barely paying the interest. While giving out Billions of borrowed money to foreign countries.

Taking from Social Security they do. Our Roads and Bridges are a disaster. All that Gov't Money spent on Safety Equipment for the road work that for the most part has not been done Yet. Sad...

What was Robust when I started out here in 2005 with words of Welcome we have all the work you want if you want it the skies the Limit!! , Sadly this is not no more. We are now told its Slow its Soft. Yet Hiring Keeps going on... Cheaper Contractor Contracts in many cases comes with less than pristine and loss of Customers as well as good Customer Service goes down & with that Customer Satisfaction no longer existing.

The Gov't / Brokers / Loads being what they are.
In House Change for the better is in the midst.
She will have her Operation.. Failure is not a option.
