Re: Last two weeks
Actually expedite loads are a killer of the auto industry...somewhere some how someone messed up...It adds directly to the cost of that car/truck.
Right now with the slow down, suppliers are able to keep up for the most part barring any unexpected breakdown of machinery...
Goes to show by the expedite freight of Ford and GM just how bad thier supply chain was and unorganized.
Thats why counting on auto expedite is a very bad habit....I mean look at Timken....almost 12 loads a day average outta Bucyrus plant alone and now what 2? Since they reworked thier computer system...no company can survive that for long.
Any carrier too focused on the auto business is going to suffer..and especially YOU the owner/driver.
If your carrier does 50% or more your in real dodo..thats half the fleet sitting around...
