{"replyTo":"","text":"brokers aren't doing what you think is \"price gouging\" there's too many trucks with too little freight to gouge any price!  The free market on the other hand is working perfectly fine, just not in reach drivers favor?  when the freight was good did you ever say wait your paying to much and refuse it?","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"looks like a lot of brokers here justifying low rates. supply and demand are pushing our rates to the point it's cheaper not to move. but too many idiots take the .57 cpm loads. as long as they do then loads will stay cheap till the pandemic is over and supply and demand go back to drivers favor.","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"Some are packing away a lot right now, but the shippers will lower their rates soon. Then the brokers and drivers all will hurt. Like they said, free market. I just waiting for the rest of the economy to implode from all the unpaid commerical loans and oil loans. Then we will really be hurting.","replyToPid":0}

","text":"that's called \"reverse price gouging\" and it's been in the media already. Unfortunately nothing has been done yet. \nI know it is  demand and supply, but yet, it doesn't justify $0.56/mile for some loads and .78 or .67 ..","replyToPid":362593}
