RE: Flash Back Friday / Furr Fluff Friday..? 6-14-16
Been like this longer than I been in the business. Be like this long after I am gone.
We are the only industry where the Contractor (me) absorbs the higher costs, cheaper rates, with no way of passing it on to the customers. We are at the mercy of the shippers and recievers, and yes, the brother in law, good ol boy network. Way too many of the freight brokers are Family, friends and relatives of the ones in control of the freight at the shipping docks.
It is a dirty dog, cut throat industry. With selectively enforced rules.

Dang. I hate that. I don't like government as far as passing tons of regulations but it sounds like the Commerce Dept needs to get involved and weed out the corruption.
Where are you at and did you get another load yet?
Hangin out with my co-pilot kits.
Petro in El Paso...... took some vids of the Ferals here and posted it.
Only one load came up. It was going to Detroit..... i will not do Detroit. About 15 yrs ago i was mugged there.
And when reminded of that, I have to play this song from Bachman Turner Overdrive....... "Gimme Your Money Please"

Howdy sir krazzytrukker! oh man. mugged! What's the story there? Detroit sounds terrible.
Just like the song says......
"A dirty mean man with shot glass eyes, He said gimme your money please...... wasn't that strange, wasn't that strange..... indeed."
Then i went a few blocks down the street and saw a detroit city cop car. I went over to them told em i was just robbed, they laughed and said your lucky that is all they took......."assholes"
Hard to tell who the real bad guys are in the Big Cities.... The Blue Smudges on the Political maps. I avoid them like the plague they are..... true story
