Heck every van i talked to was getting sent to eagle pass to run north today. And now its down to under 20 vans here and most are sprinters!

Hang tight buddy. Remember most other carriers will bid and move their equipment for far below what we will. With that comes goods and bads. But in the big long term picture I think we have the right strategy. We can not win on price, we can win on customer service, transit service, and value.

Don't know why that little jingle song got stuck in my head this morning anyone else remember that :)

We can not win on price, but every Load-1 driver helps our clause tremendously when we are the most professional and courteous drivers out there! Clients really remember that... and that's our edge!

It really is true more than most drivers realize. On the bottom of all of our customer emails is a link that they can click to send a compliment, complaint or suggestion. We get a number of comments about the positive attitude, demeanor, and professionalism of our drivers. Many customers say they do not see this same level from other expedite carriers and it is one of the factors that makes them choose us. All of you are truly the face of the company. Attitude, appearance, appearance of equipment and other factors are huge. They may see a sales person periodically or talk to our staff every day, but you are the person that has direct contact with them. I think many companies and drivers completely underestimate the effect that drivers have on sales, good or bad.
