I think it's only once a month now. You'd have to call to find out what the date is.

Typical slow period in Expedite as it is this time of year every year. That's why they say run hard during the busy months because the slow months will test your bank account.

There's a little island in Lake Erie just off the coast of Port Clinton/Sandusky called Put-In-Bay. I just saw on the news where they have resumed ferry service to/from the island for the first time in January in 50+ years. The weather is definitely strange to say the least. I just hope it...

My condolences go out to each family,especially Fred Ware Jr. He was a former Panther II driver in trk 3191 a several years ago.

The only way the loaded miles would change on a load sent to you is if by some chance the customer called back and changed the "responsible paying party". For instance there could be as many as three different customers with three different contracts and mileage programs. Say a third party calls...

Ever heard of the phrase "Believe half of what you see and none of what you hear" Every company out there has it's good/bad points. Of course you hear more about the larger ones. It's the difference of one company having 1400 O/O's and the other 500 O/O's. Unless I know the facts from someone...

If that's not a misprint you're not going to be able to sign on a 15 year old unit with most major expediters.

Not sure if this is the case with them but most companies have contracts with their customers which has a set forth fsc percentage that the customer will pay. So in essence if this is the same thing I would think their hands are tied in raising the fsc. As other have mentioned...it's all supply...

Sounds to me that he knows for certain what he's talking about,insider or not. Sure blew up Axis'claims. I can appreciate honesty much more than smoke and mirrors. If Axis claims preferrential treatment then please go into detail of just how you know this for certain. I for one am curious.

I know of the safety person that owns trucks but I can absolutely guarantee that not one dispatcher owns any trucks. Their company policy is that no dispatcher can own a truck. I do know this for certain. As for the safety owner getting preferrential treatment of their trucks...not true either...
