I agree with you 100%. I have been driving trucks for over 30 years and most of it has been in the produce industry and I can tell you this common the rates have completely bottomed out due to the fact of Foreigners coming in here from other countries getting government subsidies and tax breaks because they are foreigners and going into these produce houses and bidding on loads for next to nothing knowing they are going to get subsidized And not lose any money. As a American driver I am not eligible for the subsidies and the government help I cannot run my truck for What these people are running theirs because they do not have the overhead Due to the financial breaks they get by the government. I do not mean to sound prejudiced , And I'm sure a lot of people are going to take this comment as just that but this is not fair and it is not right.
