Hi Phil, I dont know if you saw my post: Benz is now spelled BOLT. http://www.expeditersonline.com/forum/general-expediter-forum/40711-bentz-now-spelled-bolt.html They are manufacturing the SST series again ( maybe called something dif) I guess this merger is the reason Don Bentz calls...

A hospital in St Louis had three barrels of hazmat material dropped off on their receiving docks. The barrels were to go to the hospitals power station, 400 yards away, but across the street. The power station didnt have a dock so our lift gate was needed. ( Thats why the LTL shipper dropped at...

Linda and I usually head to the Santa Nella TA. I5 and 33. Right acceoss the street is a Pilot. BUT, better yet, next door to the Pilot is "Peasoup Anderson". A very nice place to eat.

Lack of class, I wonder which are you, the kettle or the pot?:cool:

Whats the slant if it transported unloaded?

Somebody come up with a good rate. We had DH from San Jose to Phoenix to find out the load was cancelling as we kmocked on the shippers door.:eek: I hate when that happens.

Dave I fully understand your position. I just think its bad information to wanna bees, those struggling to get a better handle on their little entity or someone thinking about entering this or any other business venture. No matter how you slice and dice your opinions of what makes a relevant...

That would be sweet, 100% control of variables. Business would be a snap. Why do so many fail then? No-one has 100% control of their steps, maybe a course of action but even then circumstances may force you into a compromising situation needing contingencies to correct deviations. Long term and...

I agree that goals can be different than a forecast, both do deal with projections. As i stated history and economic conditions will adjust your position. Sometimes positively sometimes negatively. A good promotion will effect a stores traffic, a bad promotion will not help traffic. Its a roll...

We do disagree no doubt. The untrained comment wasnt directed at you, I believe you are a very competent businessman. What sets us apart is core belief of what a goal is or even if needed. Sometimes it the simple things that are over looked and undermines. And if mine isnt beeping I will...

WOW, you dont set goals but then you do.......:D Are you making a point, because davekc said "there you go" and I am trying to figure out, what went where. Failure in a goal isnt always a bad thing. It often shows a flaw in a plan/goal that should be addressed. I can forecast 200,000 + gross...

How does retail forecast sales when they rely on the most unrealiable source, the consumer. I totaly disagree with your rational on this. I would put my numbers up against any of your trucks. I totally agree that we are having a "feast" this year because of the truck shortage. Good for us...

Any business can have a goal. Some call it a forecast. Historical data from prior years, when available, will certainly give an idea of what you need to set your goal to achieve a profit. Does a grocery store controll its traffic in its store? No, but from history they can predict ( forecast )...

:cool: Peace:D

"What gives here??":confused: My thought exactly. But, you know the drill. I am a first time buyer. In an industry with a high mortality rate. I can buy another house, boat, car, Picasso, or anyother number of "other" businesses up for sale with no problem. I have qualified with a number...
