If you said, "companies like Walmart", I would have had no problem. But ILECS and Long haul providers are a bad example of free enterprise and capitalism in my ever so humble and experienced opinion.... They are the spoiled brats of the corrupt federal government.... Even more than Oil and Gas that gets so much press. Haliburton....bad.. AT&T and Bellsouth....good... Notice how CNN and Fox leaves the telco's alone... Even Cingular when they broke down post merger then post Katrina in 05..... Teflon are the telcos......There is no locally owned ISP left in Shreveport....

Rhertz, may I inquire what you mean by long haulers and are you saying they are spoiled brats. I hope you mean the company and not the drivers.

So you are talking company and not the driver themselves.

Yes, Long Distance carriers are phone companies, not trucking companies. I know nothing about the trucking industry.

Thank you I was not sure what you were talking about. I don't know the names of those companies you were talking about so that's why I didn't know they were long distance phone carriers. Sorry.
