RE: Expediting is a Business

Broom,

You're right, you can't make everyone happy all the time. Does that mean a carrier should not ever try to improve the working situation of its drivers? I don't think most successful businesses are thinking the same as you are. Constantly looking for ways to improve business, working situations and profitability are vital to the continued success of any business including my business of running my truck.

I don't think anyone has made the statement that coming into this business underfunded is the cure to any problem. As I stated earlier, the carrier should do a better job of informing potential contractors as to the amount of capital needed to better the chances of success. If, however, people ignore that advice from the carrier or this forum or wherever then its no ones fault but thier own.

I don't believe I have disagreed with anything Terry said. In fact, I stated I did agree with what he said.
