Don't waste your breath. The ******* clearly has different ethics than most
people and you're not going to change him. He spewed this exact same garbage
about 2-1/2 years ago. Some things never change.

I decided to look up the prior thread I remembered.Take a look at just this one
comparison. Either he is plagarizing someone else's post, or he is the same
person as 2-1/2 years ago, but under a different account:

From a post of his in this current thread:

Five years ago, it cost my company (and others) between $1.20 and $1.75 per
mile to ship product via common carrier truckers. Please tell me what we are
paying now.

Oh....I forgot to mention the following fact. Two years ago, we (at my
company) were able to use $1.10 - $1.20 per mile when calculating freight
rates for grocery deliveries. Due to the cost of fuel, we now have to use
$1.95 - $2.20, depending on the route and whether the trucker can get a
backhaul for the trip home.

So, let's say I want to ship a truckload of Swanson dinners from Jackson TN
to Rochester NY. It's 910 miles. At 2.20 per mile, that's about $2000.00 for
freight. Two years ago, it would've been $1090.00.

Any questions?

If you follow these rest of both threads, you will see how similar
"JoeSpareBedroom" is to "Doug Kanter". I believe they are one and the same. No
wonder I was having feelings of deja vu. I've heard his crap before. The
arguments and the writing style are pretty much identical.

I too would like to know where he works so I can avoid that business myself!
