How can they go any lower on the rates other than giving it away? Im seeing discounts of 66% on bills!

I believe there was a Transport Topics or JOC story a few months back about the way pricing was going to go. Customers are really shopping for the best deals right now. That can't be good news for my company or my fellow employees. We are treading water as it is. Conway has made a sort of smart strategic move with their LTL pricing. Someone (LTL) is going to have to race them to the bottom, if they can afford to.

The race must be on then, saw a bill today with a 72% discount. Atleast they added a fuel surcharge but the genuises figure it after the discount.
