LOL...I hope that's a joke. If not, you've got my info!

Deadhead, I'll join your fight..tell me what you need me to do! My name is Steve Barrett with Barrett Directline Delivery Services, Inc out of Bentonville, AR. My email is [email protected] Send me pics and I'll spread the word.

Ya. I was giving Elliott a hard time about a certain carrier. We've said it before, the solution is educating the shippers/brokers. Until then, there will always be a cheaper option.

And North Carolina.

Deadhead, I hope you don't mind me joining the conversation...I appreciate you thinking about giving us a call. We actually haven't been bringing on vans/sprinters for some time now, the capacity is too high. Straight trucks need to be teams ONLY. But, that being said..we let everyone know up...

Seems like you are running pretty good. What's the main issue?

Well, it's not that easy. I can find out how many units are under a carrier that has added me as additionally insured/or even a cert holder. This takes time too, getting a hold of the right person at the insurance agent and actually getting it my hands could take a half a day..but, like Elliott...

Just so everyone on here knows, I was not implying at all that anyone on here was/are not important in this fight. It is something we ALL have to deal with. My fight personally, is against the shippers/3PL's/brokers who are using these guys and trying to have us match prices against it. It's not...

So, what happened to Eclipse? hahahaha...This thread was entertaining, unfortunately I'm not sure if it's the right audience. As much as I appreciate the education on Insurance, I think it's falling on deaf ears. Until shippers understand that THEY will be liable when a personal injury lawyer...

I've got a few guesses...and good ones too!

Well, Elliott stole my thunder...unfortunately, it's a simply case of supply and demand. Brokers and Shippers know this all to well. In the mid to late 90's, there weren't too many OTR Expeditors and most trucking companies would laugh at a shipper for asking for that service, TODAY...almost...

Why do you think their CPM is higher? (drive less...Make more...$$$...?)

AWwwwwwww Snap. MPettrey is taking over EO, watch out Elliott!

Mueller, with you being a "Moderator"...you probably don't want Pettrey and I on here anyway! LOL Elliott, you are still Pettrey's hero... Pettrey, Happy Birthday.

I laughed out loud. Pettrey, you know Elliott monitors this site 24/7. He gets alerts anytime someone new comes on so he can check them out.

I've been hanging around this industry for a little while, probably not as long as most of you...but, i have seen a huge change. I personally don't like the "multi carrier" model, not because of the drivers, but because of the carrier/broker using them. The carrier/broker knocks down the rate...

Do you have liability (750k-1 million) and cargo insurance (industry standard 100k)? Just curious, I don't know much about what is required from the carriers to be a "multi-carrier", or Independent Contractor. This has been an interesting thread to read, even if it's gotten alittle off topic..lol
