John is a good man! Not sure about his program but he runs a tight ship maybe why he got on a few drivers. All I can say he he does a good job for us and really works hard to insure his drivers are on time while running our loads.

These reports mostly reflect overall load volumes more so then profit margins. June was good, July has been... Well July. Let's hope for a strong 3rd and 4th quarter!

Hey Jeff, I didn't say it, you did... But I won't disagree with you... Lol Back to this thread... O/o have different needs, different business models. There isn't one cookie cutter answer to this question. A team may like the larger carriers, singles may prefer the smaller companies that don't...

What's this thread about again?

The market is depressed right now, a lot of trucks and not enough expedite freight to go around. Today we lost out on a load the customer got covered for .60 a mile for a sprinter. These trends are expected in our industry, just like in late June expeditors were getting great rates because...

Just my .02... 1. A good expedite company will make sure the o/o's are profitable and staying busy as the market allows no matter what the size of the fleet 2. Hold o/o's accountible for service and safety by providing proper training 3. Hold dispatch accountible insuring trucks are...

Don't know anything about their program, but I know Cal, Mike and Dan over there. Good people that do a good job! As far as holding three weeks back, not sure but they don't have escrole and us carriers are waiting 30-60 days to get paid so that maybe why.

MEXICO CITY -- U.S. and Mexican officials signed an agreement Wednesday allowing each country's trucks to traverse the other's highways, implementing a key provision of the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement after nearly two decades of bickering. Transportation secretaries Ray LaHood...

We have made a delivery and after dropping the load the cons says we must dispose of the pallets. Oh crap this was 53" double stacked to the roof. What to do? Google to the rescue, found a pallet company 8 miles from the cons that bought the pallets off my driver. I told him to keep the money...

Any Auto it's called You have to weight out the extra cost of the insurance to run their loads.

The company out of Mn has pulled a few loads for us. Craig is who I worked with over there and they do a good job. Cant speak to what type of program they offer.

A good Highschool program could have beat Michigan the last few years. So glad RichRod is gone! But to an OSU fan, beating Michigan the last three years must be a lot like clubbing a baby seal.

Electronic logs make it tough for single drivers for sure. The most successful drivers with the Cats seem to be teams...

It's tough right now Rates are depressed, load count is down for everyone. But this time was slow last year too. And fuel is the real killer. This is just a slow time of year. Grass isn't always greener somewhere else, everyone gets antsy when this happens, but we are all in the same boat.

Nothing carriers can do about this, this is a state/fed mandate This is in place or Workers Comp for contractors. Eithier you are an employee with WC or a contractor with Occ/Acc.

96'.. The good old days of expedite. Fuel was cheap and rates were high!

Looks like the Feds are addressing the concerns of the industry with regulation and are hellbent on making these changes.

Do you have your own authority?

On time performance and good communication, which is exactly what Charles provides.... not exactly what you were looking for I know..LOL

I am currently doing some research regarding fuel discounts some carriers and fuel card programs offer. Can anyone chime in on any decent programs they currently utilize or have in the past? Best I have come across is .05 a gallon, I know there are better.
