My thoughts about this is you cannot pinpoint a time as several factors involved.

MTSOs popping up everywhere competing with low-ball line rates and squeeze-TATs to get the account -

Hiring without in-house experience -

Tons coming out of the schools (I might add, were probably were not even interested until we started working at home thinking it was a "GRAVY TRAIN" -

It's deteriorated in more ways than pay as well.
