    Saying "no" to cheap freight!!

    I don't know about everyone else, but I am enjoying a little banter between carriers. It is good to hear the prospective from the carriers point of view. Of course they have to be careful. One a year or so ago referred to drivers "as only a commodity" and he hasn't been seen on here since. ;)

    Any good advice?

    Yep, I would put it on the hook and tow it to a dealer that has the equipment for it. This place likely is going to hand you a large bill without ever really doing anything. At 14 months, is it out of warranty?

    Saying "no" to cheap freight!!

    Rates haven't changed too much. What many companies keep certainly has. I was in the dark for some time until I started looking for my own freight. An eye opener it was.

    Saying "no" to cheap freight!!

    And your chart explains why the industry has the issues it does. No one should be surprised. No need to complicate the simple. :cool:

    Saying "no" to cheap freight!!

    That works the other way as well. I have countless times seen a carrier pay more to the outside carrier than they do their own fleet. Quite a few reasons they do this.

    The Brian Williams saga.

    I think it is funny with the Williams disaster, MSNBC tries this approach.

    Saying "no" to cheap freight!!

    I think it is a combination of many things and your example fits right in there. When you look at all this stuff and lack of transparency from many nameless carriers, we just can't be shocked at where parts of the industry are at. A trip through the EO or transportation archives have talked...

    You're a funny guy. They sent the wrong tax information to 800k. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/02/20/obama-administration-sent-800000-healthcaregov-customers-wrong-tax-info/

    Saying "no" to cheap freight!!

    I was right with you Mike on rogue drivers until this ending. It is awesome that you and several others take that approach but I don't think that represents the majority of the transportation industry. Why? Because many are looking for drivers to fill seats and have a clean or a no...

    Wisconsin skips debt payment

    Wisconsin skips debt payment

    Well sure. Doesn't appear any different than what we do now on the federal level. That is why we are 18 trillion in debt. :cool: He is walking a fine line banking on restructured lower interest rates and a certain level of income and budget cuts. Or, like most, "just kicking the can down the...

    Deadline for signing up for health insurance is February 15th.

    It is a article from MSNBC from a guy who had a lot of liberal/left pieces. He has since past on. His article leaves out anything to do with personal responsibility, but that is to be expected. His article also assumes everyone has "skin in the game" and you spread the risk for all. That reality...

    Jews in Great Britain, not safe

    I don't think Obama really has a plan at this point.

    Jews in Great Britain, not safe

    Apparently she couldn't sell CNN on those comments either. Too funny. Another Fox link. ;) State Department spokeswoman: Call for using jobs to combat terror ?too nuanced? for critics | Fox News She is right about one thing. "Just keep killing them". Probably better results than building their...

    Jews in Great Britain, not safe

    Yep, that is what I got out of part of that interview. Why? Because of here comments specifically address it. "We need ... to go after the root causes that leads people to join these groups, whether it's lack of opportunity for jobs, whether --" Followed by, At that point, Harf was...

    Deadline for signing up for health insurance is February 15th.

    Many would say yes as long as someone else is paying for it.

    Deadline for signing up for health insurance is February 15th.

    It may or may not. The plaintiffs for this haven't really shown damages at this point. But, and why it is at the Supreme Court is that the law has a flaw in the language. Hard to tell how the judges will rule on just that specific piece. I think the real issue is the impact it has once people...

    Deadline for signing up for health insurance is February 15th.

    Just have to wait a little longer. Once people find out what it doesn't cover, where you can and can't go, the costs, sky high deductibles & copays, prescriptions that aren't covered, you will see some changes. It has already started.

    Jews in Great Britain, not safe

    Ok. Lets hear from the brilliant minds. Exactly, what would your solution be? Only your solution. Lets hope it isn't to create jobs like our state department. Couldn't even sell Chris Matthews on this stupidity. Yep, lets send people over to create jobs. That's it. Of course they might get...
