    Who is supposed to pay the liability and cargo insurance?

    Who is supposed to pay the liability and cargo insurance?

    Agreed. Sylectus has tried to market itself as a load board vs what it really is a transportation management software. I think the previous owners were behind that push and it was clearly sales driven. You are not going to find enough freight at the right places and price to run a company on...

    Who is supposed to pay the liability and cargo insurance?

    Some carriers are moving to make the owner operator get their own MC and insurance. What a great system????? They put all the compliance, filings and insurance expense and exposure on the owner operator. If you are pulling for a motor carrier exclusively they should be the ones providing the...

    It is a tough balance. I try to keep Greta and I very separate in the business for just that reason. I respect the teams that run together. That would be hard for many.

    Going Green?
