Trucking over 47 years,still at it. Truckers the only way you will ever survive in this industry is to let freight sit on the dock,if the rate is too low.

I tell them,let it rot. I have driven off on loads back in 67,and I will do it again.

Let the yo-yo take cheap freight, he will be gone soon. As of 9/20 2012,on the avg.of a 8-9 hundred miler 2.25-2.50,or tell these brokers to put it on there own backs,better yet buy a truck trailer and haul your own.

Could write a book on trucking,just got called to door 12 load of ice cream to fl.2.85 mile from Iowa,1pick/1drop.remember,let it stay on the load board if it don't pay. They will bring the rate up so you can survive.

Thanks so much.
