This transfer was likely a result of him starting his clock. It is not likely that Panther wanted to pay for a cross-dock just because the petty cash drawer was getting full.

That was a nice looking ride.

Have to have balance

If you already have a purchase contract and just need a additional liability addendum, legal zoom would have that. Much different than 350.

Most of the slow issues are tied directly to the vans. They carry a higher percentage of auto freight which by its very nature can be somewhat seasonal. Just how it is. Straights and tractors are far less effected. As Turtle mentioned, the vanners at Panther that do well are the ones that know...

Lawrence is exactly right. Many things go into the mix. What type of vehicle, qualifications of drivers, and when you say west, where is west? Secondly, you can broker your own load. Have you made that effort? And lastly, don't sit somewhere for a week as already mentioned. There is freight...

That would be the right IF a carrier does that on a consistent basic. Surprise.........many don't including my own carrier. We run the routing in advance before we even agree to do it. Same with hazmat routing. Usually correct, but there are those times when it isn't. Have to call in to get it...

It is also not unusual to see some put several shipments on the same truck. TX and MI are the hot spots for that activity.

Fuel would be considered a deduction for a contractor if the purchaser as well as the per diem. Who owns the truck wouldn't effect that.

That was my point as well in my earlier post. Only those at the bottom will have the issues.

I think you need to explain that pay plan with a little more detail.

Re: Selectus Conference; Who's Attending? Could be a interesting article if he writes about the portrait company.

Re: Selectus Conference; Who's Attending? Its a title well deserved. We have seen over the last year attempts by company owners to come on and explain away many things that they claim are "industry standards". They range from the justification of paying late all the way to foolish fees and...

Most of them won't for fear the contractors will get a clearer picture of whats going on. As far as expediting over the years, the internet has created somewhat better transparancy that many companies don't want their contractors to see. That is everything from freight rates to QC fees. There...

I have a little different prospective on this with regards to expediting. Less people handling the freight, doesn't chance the capacity equation. When brokering loads, I would say not 100 percent, but maybe 75, that I get a better rate from the larger carriers. Couple of those reasons are they...

I do agree with that. He will get a place at the table. But like you said, not likely to win the nomination.

Talk about complicating the simple. Ron Paul is pretty much where most thought he would be. Little has changed other than he hasn't won a single state yet.

Re: Selectus Conference; Who's Attending? What I find interesting with these types of events is how nice everyone is when they are together. They then leave and cut each others throats as they fight for the same freight.

I am never a fan of any new regulations. In this case I think you will see some (very small number) bail on their liabilities only to re-open under another name. I do think that will be a small number as they would still need the 100k bond to reformulate.Small brokers essentially will have to...
