Steve,
I have no control over rates but I do have control over my business as to whether it's profitable or not. I have a clue that's why I've chosen to leave. I look at both short & long term objectives of my business plan. I've made adjustments along the way to increase profitability and if I can no longer meet my expected profit % per year then it's not worth it to me. I was in this business to make a profit, that's what businesses do, that's there main objective. I was not in business to run my truck for fuel money like some others are doing.
I have other options of making money and that's what I'm about. I can take the money that I have in the bank and do other things with it. I also have the option to park my truck go do something else and come back when the rates have gone up. Some of the drivers don't have that option. You can say whatever you want -- like you, we have money in the bank and investments and that's where we want to keep it so when we retire we are not eating dog food or losing our house or other possessions.
And yes Steve, you still don't have a clue
- just by the mere comment that you made. If something is not working for you - you stop. That's common sense.
