Why didn't he just come out and say in this letter "For us to survive we need to be the CHEAPEST CARRIER out there and promise you everything and give you nothing? The whole industry is about being the cheapest and hauling for free! Until this industry is regulated again we will continue to have our throats cut and bleed till we are DEAD! I know it will most likely never be regulated again but that is what it will come down to! No money in this game if you play by the rules!:Violin:
 
The Motor Carrier Act of 1980, signed by Jimmy Carter on July 1, 1980. That's where the root of the problem is.

Anyone see that in paragraph 8? Where it says we are sorry to have to put in the absentee policy, but we would rather hear all the negative stuff from you guys the whole week, and not just 4 days of it.
 
Motor carrier deregulation was a part of a sweeping reduction in price controls, entry controls, and collective vendor price setting in United States transportation, begun in 1970-71 with initiatives in the Richard Nixon Administration, carried out through the Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter Administrations, and continued into the 1980s, collectively seen as a part of deregulation in the United States.
Since the passage of the Interstate Commerce Act of 1887, the federal government had regulated various transportation modes, starting with the railroad industry, and later the trucking and airline industries. Increasing public interest in deregulation led to a series of federal laws beginning in 1976 with the Railroad Revitalization and Regulatory Reform Act. The deregulation of the trucking industry began with the Motor Carrier Act of 1980, which was signed into law by President Carter on July 1, 1980.
Studies of the legislative process leading up to passage of the MCA indicate that the Act resulted from a concert of action by the Carter Administration, Congressional leaders, including Senator Ted Kennedy, an extensive coalition of "civil society" organizations which was a follow-on to coalitions created for rail and air transport regulatory reforms, and Interstate Commerce Commissioners appointed by Presidents Nixon and Carter who supported the pro-competition objectives of the legislative initiatives of 1971 to 1980 (notably A. Daniel O'Neal and Darius Gaskins).[citation needed]

About time for a study to show what a disaster it was!
I can't think of one thing that was de-regulated that didn't turn out bad:
Tranportation
Airlines
Saving & Loans
Banking (taxpayer bailout)
Mortgage Lenders (Fannie. & Freddie)
Electricity (Texas was de-regulated except for two cities Austin where they work and San Antonio where they live they being politicians)

The middle class working people got shafted:couch:
