    Cheap Freight

    HI I disagree.When you haul cheap freight you set a precedence.It will be assumed that you will haul the freight for that rate the next time.Also customers can only price shop for so long because of the nature of our business {JIT}.After awhile they will have to bite the bullet and pay a decent...

    TO FLUSH OR NOT TO FLUSH?

    Learning from Katrina

    hi Might as well throw my 2 cents in here.Nagan told the people to evacuate.Some didn't get the warning and some just chose to ignore it.When the storm turned away from the city even the press was saying that New Orleans had dodged the bullet and people went to bed that night feeling good about...

    Canada no more canada loads for me!!!

    HI I agree with the premium for going in,instead of .02 cut. There is an easy way to do PAPS and several CND carriers have adopted this system.The driver only has to remember their carriers fax #.Cause the only thing the driver does is fill out the inward cargo manifest and then he faxs it...

    HI Since the truck has a lien against it through the bank, the owner can not lease the vehicle.Been there done that, bank threated to sue me.Banks take this kind of stuff very seriously.
