Take it. Before they figure out they’re underpriced.

Their rate hike is actually lower than several in my area.

Well, it's a 300 mile trip to get the rock here. At 5MPG that's 60 gallons. If fuel is $2.50 more than last year that's $150 cost increase and they've raised the rate $500

Yes, they're taking advantage and gouging. They did the same thing back in 2008. Truckers can suck my dick!
