    Facebook is refreshing their ads. It's just a bug. A glitch. A SNAFU. The what's-going-on pane on the right hand side tries to reload, and gets confused when there's no user logged in. It should be gone soon. A few hours at most. Oh, BTW Happy Birthday!

    Escrow

    There's a couple of sections on escrow here. It's a good read.

    Anyone out there letting O/O's bid their own loads?

    As xiggi noted, membership has its benefits. Actually, we have $1 million Commercial General Liability, $1 million Automobile Liability, and $5 million Umbrella excess Liability. Cargo is $500,000 (according to the FMCSA, minimum cargo insurance is $300,000 for non-hazardous freight moved only...

    The Trump Card...

    I'm not sure that any meaning can be gleaned from comparing crowd sizes of Republicans and Democrats unless or until there is but one from each party left on their respective tickets. Comparing the applely goodness taste of Red Delicious to Fuji to Granny Smith to Golden Delicious to Braeburn...

    Anyone out there letting O/O's bid their own loads?

    "One bad apple spoils the whole spoils the barrel" applies to not only apples (and other fruit), but also to people, policies, laws and a whole host of other things. One bad person can spoil the entire atmosphere of an office, or a sports team (often called a "cancer in the locker room"), etc...

    Anyone out there letting O/O's bid their own loads?

    I'm not sure where you get your 90%, unless it's another one of those "it all makes sense" things, but not that many people, and certainly not most of those here on EO, believe multi-carrier operators are bidding against themselves. A few do, of course, but most know better. What's interesting...

    Company Driver?

    Sort of. Expedite is overwhelmingly owner/operator. There are a few expedite companies with company vans (asset carriers), but they are few and far between. Most expedite carriers are non-asset carriers, meaning they don't own any trucks. There are quite a few fleet owners, however, who own...

    Cargo Van Bad market?

    That's me. And it's neither snooty nor childish. For one, if I have to take 60 cents to get out of a bad area I wouldn't have gone there in the first place. Two, give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, keep doing that day after day and pretty soon he thinks your fish are his fish. When...

    Anyone out there letting O/O's bid their own loads?

    There's even a bigger disconnect that you think, because I didn't say you were here trying to get big carriers to encourage smaller fleets. I didn't even hint at it. My comments were directed squarely at OVM, which is why I quoted him. My comment in the last paragraph was a direct reference to...

    Big Truck Mickey Mouse and Driver Shortages

    I wouldn't think so, since Mickey Mouse is a proper noun. :turtle: OMG, I just found another Mickey. I can find... of them.

    It's harder (if not impossible, I'm not sure) to edit your profile page on the app. I edited your profile to show Load One, and selected Owner/Operator so you'll get that banner, as well. Both show under your avatar on the PC.

    Engineers close I-65 NB near Lafayette again

    They now expect to have that bridge open by mid-September, end of September at the latest.

    Cargo Van Bad market?

    So he ran that for like 65 cents a mile all miles? Probably not going to lose money doing that, but sheesh he's leaving $300 or more on the table.
