Yeah DD...wish I could stick to my guns and never haul it, maybe then the rates would go up?
But when push comes to shove I gotta man...lets just be realistic, if I can make some $ at it as I am (cuz its light).....gotta do it.
I mean look at some of the real crap I did turn down...is that broker going to ask himself, "OMG even Pepe turned me down!!!!! I gotta give these guys more!"
You know 3 years ago I heard the O/ops with authority bitching about cheap freight...well its still here.
I just cant help and wonder what does become of it?(I actually didnt! but was amazed at so much out there) Who the hell does take 1.00 a mile maxed out weights.....you cant partial another load in there...so your screwed with that load....hmmm do drivers really run them?...or do they end up being all that schneider and JB loads rebooked on rail i see?
I dunno....maybe some day would like to get into the broker buiz.....I couldnt ask a driver with a straight face to take that.
