Then they broker those loads at starvation rates. When you complain about they rate they email you an application for a job. How do I know? Personal experience. In fairness I've never moved a load for them. Because of the rates. I drag a pneumatic most days and I've never spoken to them about a load that met my requirement on rate. But to each his or her own. Saying rates aren't cheap when you're causing it makes my toes itch.

I always suspected that was the case, then when I saw how Biden pressured congress to make it illegal for railroad employees to strike it confirmed it, the DNC threw their own supporters under the bus, even after they took all that money from the unions, the Wall Street puppet masters definitely want cheap transportation, then they wonder why the CHU CHU keeps falling off the tracks.
