{"replyTo":"","text":"don't get me wrong theres some dump truck guys killing it too I've met a guy that said he gets paid big money for each load kind of like the oil field guys, not sure how true it is? But yeah I feel like when the game finally comes back around they guys who folded are going to be kicking themselves. Most business is a cycle of predictable trends","replyToPid":0}

By how much we don’t really know yet. Depends on the freight climate and how many were on aobrds. I suspect quite a few. Mandate starts December 16th at 11:59.59

{"replyTo":"","text":"There are too many trucks, too many drivers and no one seems to know how to squeeze money out of brokers. Its way to easy to find a driver who will agree to haul a load at a loss. \nTrucking will always function in some shape or form but hasn't been profitable lately for the small fleets. After this latest bloodbath is over we'll be competing with new micro fleets that bought repo'd equipment at auction and think they can make a living hauling cheaper. it'll never end.","replyToPid":0}
