    Cheap Freight to No Freight

    We are vetting and going through our system carrier by carrier. We are removing a number of carriers daily right now. Reducing and trying to remove the possible exposure and focus on properly insured carriers and hopefully help to bolster them in the fight at the same time. But at the same...

    Other than the owners terrible hairstyle.... We have always found them to be a very solid business partner from the carrier to carrier side.

    I am sad to advise that I was just notified that Terry the weekend warehouse person had further complications from his stroke last week and has passed away today. Please keep his family in your prayers as they deal with this loss. I will let everyone know of arrangements as soon as I hear more...

    What happened to Eclipse Expediting?

    Here are some of the issues pointed out to me by our insurance providers and attorneys: I am just going to cut and paste some parts to give you the idea of it. Lawyers can be very long in emails, lol. "If you would like to use IC’s with their own insured vehicles for your business, we could...

    What happened to Eclipse Expediting?

    Almost seems like it comparable to cyber hackers. Every time you come up with a way to catch cheaters....they figure out a way around it. Really frustrating. It used to be agents themselves would police this and would never almost conspire on it. But sadly the industry has changed.

    What happened to Eclipse Expediting?

    Problem is the carrier/broker doesn't and can't see the sub policies and what units are actually covered for. It also doesn't insure the sub units have correct type of coverage (interstate, freight, not delivery, mileage radius etc). This is EXACTLY the very problem that we are talking about...

    They very well could be dragged into a lawsuit. Most likely Ford did not award his carrier the load directly, but that is really hard to say and would be speculation. But if the van is not properly insured as you are assuming it is likely a number of companies could get drug into a liability...

    Big or small it would cost all carriers the same proportionally. The self insured fight is just the insurance lobby trying to monopolize the insurance market.

    What happened to Eclipse Expediting?

    I agree entirely??? That was kind of where this whole thread started. Personally as fast as we can catch them we cut them off as being a carrier for Load One. A lot of unhappy carriers with us the last few months....

    I like your thoughts. Shelly from CIS does a really great column on EO. You can find it on the home page. Insurance is confusing but she lays it out better than most! It is really a must read.

    What happened to Eclipse Expediting?

    Sylectus is just a transportation management software, they are not going to go into this. It's like asking Microsoft to not let people use Microsoft word to write bad things. TEANA is trying with the VOI program. Carriers and brokers are trying as well. But the push needs to come from all...

    Has anyoe heard of On Call Logistics?

    So you should pay your contractors and not pay the carriers you hire to run loads? With that theory.....what if the carriers that gave OnCall loads didnt pay them. How would OnCall pay you? Now with that being said, I don't know anything about the companies status and/or operations today. I...

    What happened to Eclipse Expediting?

    Also RMIS monitors carriers insurance coverages. I am not sure they would even monitor a policy that was not written for an MC#. Pettrey is dead on. Size is not the issue here. We started small and so did C&M. So it can be done right and succeed. It is simply people exploiting the system...

    What happened to Eclipse Expediting?

    Other issue is correct coverage. Someone like Allstate for instance will write a policy that is valid and enforce but is for local delivery only. Might have radius limits and not cover interstate freight. So you can monitor it all day and it will come up valid but it won't cover in the event...

    What happened to Eclipse Expediting?

    Yes we do. But that monitors the carriers insurance that is contracted to you. How easy is it for shady carriers to just provide a unit bin number and policy info for a properly insured unit and then just send another unit? Again the carrier is a signing the contract and providing the...
