Sometimes it amazes me how Companies demand superior performance from the driver/contractor but settle for mediorce performance on their Dispatchers part. I will not identify the Carrier that I am with but this situation could have probably happened on a number of them. Last week I received a...

Well it certainly was a wild weekend on EO with all kinds of posts flying back and forth.You know very few posts get locked or removed on EO because there is generally a lot of respect for each other.The other truck posts are full of flaming nasty replies etc that do no good at all. I like to...

It seems to me that more and more people are joing the Expediting industry expecting to roll 24 hours a day.
