    Trucking 101 - YOU ARE GOING TO SIT!

    Ok, much easier, No way on that. Our motto is "quality vs. quanity!! Example who can afford to do a straight truck mini for $100?? I would'nt turn the key. I would however do a mini for $500. If I can't get it I dont need it and my O/O does not either. I rather book him MI to GA for a...

    Trucking 101 - YOU ARE GOING TO SIT!

    I will argue this point all day. To some it may be easier than Ebay. To the really advanced dispatchers it's totally complex. My day shift is lucky to cover 10% of my fleet, and then 60% afternoons and the big loads on midnights. It's a matter of time, location, size of vehicle...

    Trucking 101 - YOU ARE GOING TO SIT!

    LMAO watching the 3 stooges with my kids, this is some old school funny T.V. Wow, ummm, help me out I'm a little confused with the big words. Do I believe that we need more trucks than the volume of freight we have?? Sorry put it into 5th grade terms, I must warn you, I don't do very well...

    Trucking 101 - YOU ARE GOING TO SIT!

    WAIT!! I know of one big owner out there advertising that is more worried about showing off his design suits at conferences than who's stuck in a BFE town in upstate NY. Or ALL STATES that dont have freight. :rolleyes:

    Trucking 101 - YOU ARE GOING TO SIT!

    That's the proper way to run a operation. And we always pay a bonus when it's busy time of year, and always pay out of our pocket when the time arises. I also will not move a truck just to move it. Leaving the "midwest" and our dedicated lanes such as TX and AR, and Ok where we have freight is...

    Trucking 101 - YOU ARE GOING TO SIT!

    Somedays you just have to take a loss to move a truck. I don't pay the truck less, but I will break even or lose money to move that truck. Im sure you will all say, that's stupid. Or what else, that's b.s.?? I lose on average on 2 trucks daily. Im a much smaller operation than Load1. So our...

    Trucking 101 - YOU ARE GOING TO SIT!

    This is a serious issue. You should be able to see the numbers when you sign on. A "guide" to what other trucks in that class are averaging. I don't care, howver, my trucks are consistantly booked. I am at a disadvantage due to the "34hr rule". I hate it.Because I run out of capacity. This...

    Sylectus sold!!

    There are 1 or 2 people on here that have known about this for sometime now. I interested to see if they weigh in on this matter to give us a "heads up" on what their thoughts are?? However, I respect their position and anytime you can get "one up" on your competition it can always position...

    Sylectus sold!!

    1st, Sylectus is NOT a load board. It's a advanced software for the "hardcore" expeditors. It's the most advance trucking software available. To use it strictly as a "load board" is ridiculous. The freight available is some of the worse paying freight in the expedite industry. Think about...
