Alas, what will poor Jorje do now that his production line will shut down?

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

So much for freedom of speech, huh?....lol..Why is it that people post negative things, everyone goes along with it, but when I post a positive thing such as the excellent rates I got for the week, it is not a good thing?

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.

Ya know, I havent been the first or only one to post what I did.I posted a weekly average, not load rates.

While were on the subject, I had a driver a couple of months ago come up to me laughing, saying I'll get the next small load, because he only does long runs, and he told dispatch not to call him unless it was a big one...Talk about wrong!

Guido, I don't think everyone goes along when something negative is posted. No one is trying to stop your freedom of speech it has nothing to do with that. It is about what is smart business and what isn't. Like OVM said I think using the term great rate or paid well gets the point across without the need to be specific. Sometimes we need to think with our brain rather than our emotions.

Dave I might have posted a rate in the past too. I have also done some other things in life I no longer do. ;) I am certainly not saying I am perfect just trying to think a little more, I am a slow learner at times but I do try to learn.
