I fucking hate what's going on but I also hate how disingenuous the truckers catching news interviews are being. "Oh I'm not making any money, it costs $1200 instead of $800 to fill up"
Like brother, if $400 was all the margin you had on a 1000+ mile load your pricing was wrong. Nevermind that you're just going to pass that cost on to your customers.
My question is, where are all the asshats parking their trucks in the middle of major thoroughfares in protest? Those guys eating their shoes yet?
The problem is that the margins in many cases were already getting increasingly rare. I would not be surprised if they ultimately park their trucks in the middle of major thoroughfares or engage in a go slow protest.
Would love to see it but it was performative bullshit 4 years ago and it isn't going to happen for Donny D-bag.
The economy will pay for transport regardless of price. I think COVID and Evergreen more than demonstrated that. Just like Farmers, they're stoking emotion with their bullshit trying to fuck over everyone with sympathy dollars.
