I can appreciate that. We try as always to add a sense of common sense to it. But again when I allow a measure of "judgement" it is open to interpretation. For example they offered Guido a load two days ago. They made the offer and the rate was very poor due to the length of the deadhead. We had...

This is the system that was set up to try and keep everything fair and trucks in a fair order. We seem to debate the merits of it every time a unit does not like it. Honestly, I can not win on this topic. Every driver I talk to has a different opinion of what they believe is fair. I can...

The rate on the load is the rate? The load was booked. Unit turned it down, turn down info recorded. Another unit took the load and ran it. Comment was driver turned down due to personal choice wanted something with more miles. The rate is listed. Not sure what the issue with any of this...

They are to record turn downs per company policy. If you turned the load down without asking rate I am not sure what it matters. In this case their was a note saying driver wanted something longer. It is the policy it hasn't changed. We record them for a number of reasons and we try to use...

Done on our facebook page.

Wash bay is open! LOL

Met a lot of people I like in this business. Granted I won't do business with half of them. :rolleyes:

Good morning gang! Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe!

It will make it better but not perfect. You would be surprised how often a customer has no idea that his shipper may want a pu number, a po number, a ref number or anything till we call them and they call the shipper to find out. Customer service is sometimes and often not to blame.

Well we are working with Sylectus and Qualcomm to get more of the fields automatically sent over and the zip code as you guys requested.

Their are a ton of different numbers. What is one number to a 3pl is different to a shipper. Trust me they do not have it as easy as many would like to believe. They get told one thing by the customer and then have to call the customer back after the truck gets there and some number (name...

Even that one is only like $115 million a year in revenue.

The "qualifications" (I use that term VERY loosely) have certainly changed.

It is the shippers who are pushing the rate down, or is it the carrier that cuts his cost base by having no infrastructure and cutting his costs by running improper and basically illegal insurance coverage and then bids below legitimate carriers? Easy answer, it ain't the shippers!

That is exactly what we are seeing. Many of these carriers CONSTANTLY look for ways to cheat or game the system. Vin numbers are one way. The biggest scarier one is how they play with insurance. They have policies that are not for expediting and they have coverage amounts far below the...

This thread about T & K seems to have really left the tracks....

This is a great addition and will help bring awareness to the great work that so many individuals and Bolt have done to promote the Great Lakes Convoy for a Cure.

Which only serves to artificially inflate capacity which drives down rates thru the basics of supply and demand. So who makes more or saves? I have beat this horse again and again.

If the drive thru line at Tim Horton's is short sometimes I can get to the office 3 minutes early.

Get or give???? :rolleyes:
