What is happening and its effect on our business from the dollar point of view is that the less scrupulous carriers are driving rates down. They'll go to our best customers and convince them that they can do this for less. Our best customers put pressure on us. They don't necessarily walk, but they put pressure on us and say that XYZ is doing this for $500 less. Okay, then, I'll do it for $250 less.
At the end of the day, we need our customers to be our business partners. We need to be profitable. Profit in the trucking industry seems to be a bad word. Customers will pay for it if there aren't people out there cutting corners and offering to do it for less.
