This gives me a chuckle that he

Is it possible that we have a new breed of bottom feeders.
In the old days , they’d go broke and go away.
It seems the new breed prospers by having reduced expectations. They operate cheaper, sometimes by skirting the law.

On the FB site their are some that brag about not having to have commercial insurance and a couple have accused the rest of us as being idiots for paying for unnecessary insurance. Then there, are the ones that brag about taking cross country loads as a solo (2000+) direct for less.

Ken,

Now that you’re retired, I believe your wisdom and knowledge would be much appreciated and widely accepted on other social media outlets on FB pertaining to the expedite segment, and I believe if you shared your thoughts and wisdom there, you might get the point across to the bottom feeders that follow those outlets.

I would tend to agree with Big Stick
After years of watching people jump head first into the shallow end of the pool and disappearing... there are always people going to work/scam the system... always. :)

Talked to a guy last week who was bragging about making 80 cents no FSC or DH. Maybe too many guys don't know what good money is now. Shippers are paying more and more now.....so someone is making it.
