Yeah, yeah.
So what's going on here?
Let me tell you a little bit of industry lingo.
There's something called power only.
So this was a model of trucking where...
the truck and the driving part of a business is subcontracted out.
The trailer, the load, the service is still owned by another company, right?
So the people who perfected this was Federal Express.
Years and years and years ago, it used to be a good model.
You know, you could have your own truck, you could be a subcontractor to FedEx, pull their trailers and make money, and it was fine.
That system has run into this sort of importation of insourced illegal migrants, for lack of a better word.
And now...
Amazon does it, right?
90-something percent of Amazon subcontractors are owned by these small carriers that are often headquartered overseas or headquartered in Chicago in ethnic enclaves like Elk Grove Village or Glendale, California with the Armenians.
And they employ their co-ethnics or guys with suspicious work visas or no work visas or no CDLs.
And they go and haul all of Amazon stuff through the Amazon Relay Program.
And I think six of the executives of the Amazon Relay Program are Indian guys or from India or live in India.
I don't know.
Anyway.
That model, the big trucking companies who are represented by the American Trucking Associations have looked at Amazon and FedEx and said, why should we even bother owning trucks?
