Gman,
I agree with you. I don't think owner operators drive the freight prices down, but much rather the larger companies. Case in point,I work with an established broker and he was complaining to me how us express undercut his rate at something like 90 cents per mile,compared to 1.60 ,the rate he was getting out of this shipper. If these huge megacarriers will fall out(I hope they will),I think the supply of trucks will be just fine fine for the current demand. And. I think its a matter of time,not if, for this to happen.
