    Not sure if article is related to first post or not or if its even been shared here yet. But as far as I can see 7 terminals have been closed permently. XPO Logistics Closes Seven Truck Terminals

    Anyone here use "Zello"?

    And that's the importance of keeping a conversation sterile during a operation. Idle chat stops once op is started.

    Anyone here use "Zello"?

    In our particular game there are operation leaders, team leads, clearing teams, blocking teams, throwing teams,and various folks on the ground doing all sort of activities and at times spread across several counties, cites, states or in some cases other countries. Zello works to bring all these...

    Anyone here use "Zello"?

    Zello is commonly used for gaming comms. Some folks tell me they use it @ work also. Once a channel becomes so large with a decent number of users it can become sort of a pain as more and more people try to key up at the same time. For us (Gaming) its stressed not to use the channel during a op...

    Cargo Van This company will load with Hazmat, no insurance and leave you for dead literally

    Yep and that vehicle if was truly contaminated it would have been the last thing I would have gotten rid of. And just because a load stinks doesn't mean its hazmat. :D If you ever suspect they put a hazmat material on your truck illegally its your duty to get away from the freight and contact...

    You know I havnt really paid a lot of attention to how often they turn over bodies in the office, i sure their is some. Ya would think that if your career involved moving freight this would have been taught in 101 class on how to track it. Some of this would fall on the backs of our own carriers...

    That's where you come in and educate the shippers.. They ask why aren't you with XxX carrier and you tell em there is know way of telling how many times their freight was sold. After they agree, then pump em for how much they pay and watch their eyes roll in disgust after you tell em your cut. :D

    With today's technology and after the truck is loaded why are customers even calling for status of the freight? One click of the mouse should show them real time tracking.

    Murray ya need to lean across the table and remind these 2 guys that it just may have been me that put this idea of a whole new headache in your head awhile ago.

    Never never in my time in a straight did I draw that much FSC on a single load. That's more then most of my paid miles anymore. I just found out last month my garbage man is doing better on FSC then me. And he only goes 900 feet from his last pickup. FSC is nearly the same as the monthly...

    So in a sense your saying the trucks are subsidizing the vans with FSC. (I am assuming your in a van) Like I said maybe the carriers should restructure how they pay FSC. Figure out the fleet average for vans and pay it accordingly. Based on van mileage and not total fleet mileage. I don't...

    Well once I heard the destination I ended the conversation and threw it back..Just don't feel comfortable that they would get me out of there. When I asked how they would get me out of there I got the feeling I would still be there next Monday night.. No thanks.. To far to drive home empty.
