Good Morning From San Antonio. Foggy mist here today but I'll take this over the snow up north. Hope everyone has a nice day and we all get that home run weekend load!

I think in the big picture posting rates is counter productive. I have heard others say the same thing.

I have to agree you with you on this Rich! In the long run it does us no good to post our rates. Not bashing you at all Guido so don't take it wrong. It's just that info is best shared among your trustworthy peers in another way other than a public forum , be it phone , text , email or whatever. Sometimes we are our own worst enemy!

I agree and we have to keep in mind when we are having a great week someone else in the family is having a terible one, They have been sitting empty, running short loads with low rates etc. We all have our share of good and bad but we do need to keep other people in mind. I am guessing it is not unusual for disptach to get a call from a driver having a tuff time after reading about someone elses great rates asking why not them.

While where on the subject I think it also is not wise to post about putting extra heavy loads in a van someone may be driving.

I agree as does most everyone else! The penalties will be stiff when caught..... Play with fire long enough and you will get burned!
