Right.If you own your truck,and you have to have a certain amount of money to make a living,then you cannot find a load that pays that much.Brokers get loads with fuel surcharge,that pay good enough,but only offer ridiculous pay.These"brokers"who are thieves need to be in prison.Plus,they are driving lots of good truckers off the road.The ones that wont run over you,the ones that know what they are doing,the ones that take care of their truck,the ones that own their truck,are being ruined.All the government does is take the profits away in taxes.Companies a lot of times do very little to fix anything.They can look for higher paying loads,but big time freight haulers haul stuff too cheap to start with,but they make up for it by putting trailers on trains.The owner operators dont have this option.So it comes down to this,its the railroad,which is owned by the goverment and crooked brokers then its the oil companies,and the government is in there with unfair taxes.All of this adds up to a stressfull life,and not worth it.The pay is not good enough any more unless you have a contract for a certain rate both ways.These contracts dont exist much anymore. The price of fuel wouldnt matter if there was a law saying there had to be a fuel surcharge that was paid in cash to the man in the truck buying the fuel,not a broker or company that will steal it.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
