I actually think that we are losing trucks. I think all of the running freight for cheap prices is catching up with a lot of carriers and O/O's. I think a lot of people are being forced out of the market. Just my two cents.
I consider myself to be a great chess player. But you aren't going to get rich doing this job.
The great thing about chess is that the rules never change. A pawn is a pawn and a king can only move one square at a time. In trucking, the rules are in a continual state of flux, which itself becomes part of the game.
The great thing about chess is that the rules never change. The board has a limited number of squares. White opposes black. A pawn is a pawn. A king can only move one square at a time. Each player moves in turn.
In trucking, the rules are in a continual state of flux, which itself becomes part of the game, and numerous players of various skill levels can move whenever they wish.
