Everyone must realize trucking of today is not the same as it was 10 years ago.
Expedite use to be a specialized part of trucking,with just a hand full of trucking companies doing it.
In today's world, expedite is being done by every trucking company in America.Do they have actual customers,or do thy just bid on one of the many bid boards?Thanks to the internet,price quotes are changing everyday,both in regular freight, as well as in expediting,even in the realm of the over dimensional loads.
I'm now with a different carrier,is it scary,in away,but I have experience,and this helps my case a lot.Will I take every load I'm offered?No.Will it be the short runs I turn down,also no.It could be one of many long loads,but when I do turn a load down,it will only be because it won't turn a profit.Do I mean big profit?No, not at all,it would just be a loss.
A load can break even,it just can not show a loss.Once you start operating in the red,it's very hard to get yourself back above water.Ok, that's my secret.
