Welcome to your wake-up call GH! I'm just sorry that I am so late to point it out to you.
In the words of the late, great ColdFrostyMug. 'Your job is secure until the next low bidder comes in and undercuts your rates. If some mega-coolie/carrier will run that freight for next to nothing............that freight is going on that truck.'
Survival of the fittest. Our lovely industry. Now they (FedEx) appear to be farming loads to (coolie?) carriers?
Say it ain't so Hobo!!! I see CRST tractors pulling R&L doubles.............................
I feel for ya bro.
