    Have you ever heard of such a "policy"?

    Panther done what, and got sued? The escrow covers whatever the escrow agreement says it covers. Sometimes it covers the QC, and/or any other company-owned equipment, sometimes it's there specifically to cover quarterly fuel taxes. The escrow fund is money to guarantee performance, to repay...

    Split loads...Cross-docking

    That's called LTL. They merely Pony Express loads from point to point. You can do that in expediting, but really only within the same carrier. It doesn't make financial or liability sense for, say, Panther to pick up a load in El Paso, swap it out to an XPO van in Houston, then the XPO van swap...

    Split loads...Cross-docking

    It's Panther's bread and butter when it comes to cargo vans. <snort> Of course one of the problems with those runs is making sure you have drivers available for the second and third legs. There may or may not be a driver sitting there ready, willing and able in Cheyenne, Wyoming when you need...

    Have you ever heard of such a "policy"?

    BTW, federal law says escrow must be returned within 45 of contact termination, which is why you don't see that spelled out in most contacts.

    Have you ever heard of such a "policy"?

    I would not. Simply because of the vague language used as to the purpose of the Escrow. "...in order to enforce any provision of the Carrier Operating agreement and/or company policy," is a straight up joke and probably wouldn't survive a court challenge, as "company policy" can change on a...

    Have you ever heard of such a "policy"?

    Yep, the contract should state specifically what the escrow can be used for. And it cannot be used for anything else without both parties agreeing to the change in writing.

    Soooo, anytime there's any rioting involving black people, it's the BLM morons who are doing the rioting? Incidentally, the police have not said that he turned and pointed the gun at them, they only said he refused to drop the gun. In any case, this incident did not happen in a vacuum.

    The Trump Card...

    As a real estate developer and property owner he really isn't in the position of bringing back manufacturing jobs to this country or in negotiating traded deals that incentivize keeping those jobs here. As someone who licenses his name to retail products like shirts and ties, he can only work...

    The Trump Card...

    Not necessarily. And in point of fact, I haven't once defended Trump in this thread. I've defended against blatant ignorance, mischaracterizatons, fabricated quotes, and beliefs presented as fact. I've defended some of the things Trump had said in the context of the issue at hand. But I haven't...

    Look, if you can't defend her, just say so. There's no reason to try and make this thread about me.

    The Trump Card...

    No need to be insulting. I don't see anyone in this thread blindly defending Trump in Kool-aid fashion. If you can defend Hillary, please do so. Posting memes and opinion hit pieces on Trump isn't really much of a defense of Hillary. It's a deflection to distract people from looking at Hillary...

    Someone who steps on backs to accomplish things, or someone who stabs people in the back to accomplish things... tough choice.

    The Trump Card...

    His shirts are made in Bangladesh. Regardless, where do you think they should be made? Before you knee-jerk with "Here in America!" you first need to find an existing US supplier who can manufacture the shirts to spec and in quantity, and at a price point that is financially viable. That's...

    Yeah, it will be in one of the messaging/compose options, assuming FedEx has such a macro.

    The Swamp in Rio

    The green diving pool is supposed to be crystal clear, like the other pools. Someone apparently dumped hydrogen peroxide instead of chlorine into the diving pool, which reacted badly with the chlorine, and caused an algae bloom. It got darker and darker every day, and now it's just an oblique...

    The Trump Card...

    You're not alone on that one. LOL I don't know what's worse, though, Obama saying, "We will never use nuclear weapons in a first strike, and will only use them in retaliation to a nuclear strike," or Trump saying, "We've got a lot of extras of these toys, so we might as well play with them."
