Yea but Dave, the carriers are making money off of us all different ways. To figure out the amount is like trying to figure out how much money you lost when you didn't get a call for a run - there is no real loss in not getting that call. I agree that they shouldn't but they do, just like the...

That's right, going to be sitting in Memphis, near the HQ, going to visit for the fourth time maybe Monday, I am amazed at its greatness each and every time.

Congrats. The problem is you are always learning and after 5 years of this 'stuff' I can now say I have a long way to go.

OVM, Why bother, FedEx will always win because they are the bestest company in the world.

1 - Have the system checked to see what level the freon is at. A lot of the times it is the level of freon that causes the issue. Without going into a lot of details, the system leaks, all systems leak and because of that, you may have been alright until now but just enough leaked out that...

Sorry but the repubs are still a bunch of fractured idiots running around scream about a fire in the kitchen. If Barton didn't apologize then retract it and then apologized for making it, I would then say they are getting it together but ... come on ... Steele needs to get out of there, hire...

At one point after 9/11, they were supposed to share information between agencies but again they can't do the simplest things.

Phil must have shorted the stock and made millions. :p

That's great. If he is an EO member, maybe an award is in his future? hint:)

Steve, Saw one of your sprinters on my way down to Memphis. I don't see too many of them around. He even used his turn signals to do his lane changes, which the Tri-state guy behind me didn't.

read my posts again.

Dave, I would add that inter-departmental charges are used at one carrier. For example some of their specialized freight gets handed off from internally with a price charged to the "internal" customer than that's what the contractor's rate is based on. I have seen one of these customer's...

See the foundation of your post and agree. It is amazing how these people keep their frickn' jobs. I would have fired a lot of people over this but it goes back to something I have noticed, a lack of an attitude that sometimes this is mission critical work, from the customers to the driver...

Turtle, I understand that's it a cash grab and I don't like it either but the point seems to be moot because most of us are all dealing with the same thing and the same rate. All of us complaining doesn't seem to impact anything, that's my point. They are not about to change it because they...

So Guido, the difference is if you smash into someone under a load and they have a good lawyer, even a green one, you can lose a lot more than the guy in the U-haul. A jury may be sympathetic to the U-haul driver where they may not be a commercial driver.

I thought rates were going up, which meant that the rates to the truck should have gone up too.

I think Turtle Bilt sleepers are the best I have seen for Sprinters. :D

Yeah, it seems Juju needs to focus on correcting OVM's spelling first ;) Color not Colour Armor not Amour Check not Cheque Center not Centre Inquiry not Enquiry :p

The funny thing is the successful ones are not talking about their success. I do think he has a lot of good things but almost every post refers back to his site and I think it is in bad taste. OH and he owns a trailer, not property.

Hey there. First off think lifestyle. The reason was already mentioned, owners and companies want teams even though teams are sometimes selective and the ‘dispatch’ systems are designed to help correct this by offering incentives for short runs or in the case of FedEx competing between...
