2 people in a truck...

I talked to a expediter team yesterday morning, they were parked in the local Wally World lot. Husband and wife. One interesting bit they told me is that they have been running more as 2 workers in the truck than as a true team lately. They'll get a couple of LTL loads that have to be loaded and unloaded by them, but won't require a team run. They say the money is just as good, and it's keeping them busier.

Sound right?

IF, they have no background in recruiting, used car sales, used truck sales, etc, and they didn't fidget much while they were talking, then......it must be fact.

Well, she made eye contact, but he was squinting a bit...

Well if the base rate is good and they get a reasonable load/unload rate plus standard FSC and you x2 or x3 that...anything is possible...IF indeed true...they are right on the ball for business opportunities...instead of sitting on ones hiney and whining, like most do....

Look at the ads in here most say 99% no touch freight ...so we owe 1 load out of 100 to hand unload.

Last carrier I was with was 99% all touch Freight, paid pretty good to carry those boxes.

2 people in one truck= cage match! Now I want to see OVM and Guido teaming up in a sprinter in a "1 month nationally televised reality show" called "the brotherhood of the traveling underpants!" And the 4th week grand season finale will have to be a pay-per-view mudd wrestling match between the two of them in Ft Lauderdale Florida.
