I believe the quote was more "what carriers are willing to pay." That is quite a bit different what they can "afford" to pay. I believe the quote was from the head of CRETE. He also said something to the extent that when drivers start making $60K turnover will slow and the "driver shortage" will disappear

Remember, a few letters about reality in the biz to your local politician - Congress and Senate can make a difference.
