That is complete BS. That's over 7 billion dollars a year just in profit. NO WAY. You need to go back to high school accounting 101

They didn't get as big as they are by paying more to move a load than they receive. I could see them conceivably giving all of the profit to a carrier if they were in a really difficult bind with a big shipper and there was no other way to move the load, but don't see this happening as a standard course of business.

BigDiesel, rates are not quite what I would like to see, but our average is pretty decent and our deadhead is very low right now. Our rates seem to be doing better than a couple of weeks ago. There are some areas of the country where rates are very low and freight isn't moving that well. We have not had to do a lot of sitting the last several weeks and have not taken loads where we could not make a profit. Frankly, I am pleasantly surprised. I have a driver in one truck who is doing a very good job, making decent money and not killing himself. He sees that the equipment stays in good shape and takes care of business.

A friend of mine just had the best week that he has had in a while and is getting home on the weekends. The main thing right now is to stay out of the bad areas, although it seems that there are a lot of them around right now. You want to keep moving, but not at the expense of making a fair profit. There are still a lot of carriers and owner operators who are taking cheap freight. That does make it more challenging to find better paying loads. The current economy and time of year requires that we work a little smarter and more efficiently.

How can you not see us taking money out of our pockets to move a load? We have to keep our customers happy. If we dont move the freight we are at risk of losing it. Its a lot better to invest a few hundred dollars in a load and keep the customer happy so we get more freight, where we will more than make that money back, than to piss them off and lose the account altogether.

Gross revenue is also only around 300 million per quarter. Far cry from 7 billion.
