That turtle sure has a way with words.

Really ? I'd be leery of putting a D out at $1.25 all miles. To be excited about less confuses my simple mind. Oh well, different strokes for different folks.

At flat rate, all that would matter is miles. $1.25 deadhead also one would presume.

Dave, with all your experiance, what's your take ? Normal cycle ? Election year ? Over capacity ? At what point do the realists say the sky is really falling ?

You don't want to see the notes dispatch has. They may say save for an A list truck. If you want to haul D freight you should spend the money to get a D unit !!!!!!!

Great load ! How many CVs are you running over there ?

If you go to the home page, tap on each Carrier, you'll get info on each carrier. One item is will they hire with a felony. I checked two. Got one yes and one no. Oddly, the Carrier that will hire with a felony is probably the better of the two. It may have to deal with their customer base...

I don't blame you. From the OP I thought they had just announced some new upcoming fees.

Maybe greedy. If they tell you, and you agree to stay, how can you call them a thief ?

There was a lawsuit reported on today in Landline that is over a Carrier filtering money through entities it owns to decrease revenue paid to it's O/O's. ( Go 2, based in Az.) This made me think the problem is our percentages need to be based off total cost to the shipper. Logs ? It'd be cool...

I'm old enough to know better but still too young to care. All jokes aside, I think I'm about as old as the OP but how are we to know ?

Dave's right. It's easier to tolerate if you understand what's happening. Carrier X will book the load through Carrier X logistics. Carrier X logistics sells it to Carrier X Transportation for 80 cents on the dollar. Carrier X Transportation gives it to their O/O for 65% or whatever. So...

Look up Federal Truth in Leasing. (49 CFR 376).

May Day May Day A good day for everyone to turn down any loads under a buck. Enticed by doubling up ? Take $2. Make the agents get back to the customer with I can't move it that cheap. Easier to get it going with OVM at home.

It makes sense for the broker with the .60 vans to get as much as possible,also. With the % carrier they are required by law to give you proof of the rate. Edit: proof of rate may not be required in the unregulated segment.

Bako missed a great opportunity to air his story to people with 100's of years combined experiance. They could have explained why whatever happened did . No one company will please everybody. ES's history is that they do a lot of good things for a lot of people. Bako needs to understand what...

Yeah, but if your magnet means Laredo to Michigan, another is Laredo to So Cal, another Laredo to New England, etc, do you really care about those other magnets if you're wanting to get back towards Taylor ?

I'd be inclined to hide the paper log and show the e-log. It will be legal, shouldn't get you any stupid tickets for silly errors, and they used to not look at them very closely. The paper log I would leave out of reach, out of sight. And copy it as close to exactly as you can at the end of...

It is very rare to hear a negative comment about ES. As large as they are, and as old as they are, you'd think there'd be more negative stuff. I imagine they are pretty awesome to have the positive reputation they have. So, do you have an interesting story to share ?
