Coverage is the biggest issue and what the other insurance company pays. We had a similar situation 4 years ago and getting the truck fixed wasn't too bad and a daily allotment obtained while it was down. The costs were much higher and our insurance had to hire a out of state lawyer to collect...

If a fleet owner has had no prior relationship with a contractor, asking for a minimum escrow against a 100k or higher piece of equipment/investment is hardly out of bounds.

Had a light frost in TN, now we are at the barn in FL. Can't get too cold. :D

Can't forget EO either. What a huge change in the way many communicate verses years past. A huge thanks to Lawrence for bringing it to the industry along with some great events.

Without a doubt, technology has changed the whole industry. Some of it good, and some not so good. No longer are people getting lost with GPS, standing in phone booths, calling every broker looking for freight thanks to the Internet. The good news is, many carriers have to act with more...

Based on the towing thread, maybe tow truck drivers will get a bump.:D

This is exactly what happens when carriers hire seven dollar an hour high school dispatchers. The carrier likely through your contract has unfettered access to the freight at all times. That is much different than towing your vehicle. That can only be done if YOU authorize it. I would never...

I think I know what we are going to get out of it. Billions added to our debt while we are over there doing more foolish "Nation Building". We will be rewarded for our efforts when complete by it being taken over by another dictator.

I would probably throw French-Ellison on that list as well for big trucks. Pretty worthless even for simple repairs. But I will say, we have had good luck at the French-Ellison is San Antonio. Hard to believe they are the same people but operated totally different from each other.

History does have a way of repeating itself.

I forgot about the secret Chinese accounts.:D

As far as I know, they don't matter.

There is that and the now realization that we are financially tapped which makes negotiations much tougher.

That's it. No different than the hollywood crowd or sports figures. All of that is market driven.

One could make the argument that the protesters are using the same information to fullfill a agenda are they not? I understand people are fed up with many things, but what did they expect when they elected a Chicago politician? And yet they still support him and want him to be elected again...

Moving some work back to the US and didn't take the bail out money. I would give them a second look.

Is this a new Obama regulation?

That is what cracks me up with this. They will vote for Obama yet he is one of the major problems that created the financial mess along with a worthless Congress.

I keep seeing posts about this movement is not about wanting free stuff. Just not seeing it. One of the biggest protest groups put this out today. Calls For Wiping Out Student Loan Debt Leave Americans Split On New 'Bailout' | Fox News Granted it is Fox news, but how much could they twist...

One can throw all kind of links up from people most never heard of. Right or wrong, the general public including most who are protesting, have no clue what they are protesting about except wealth redistribution and wanting their debts paid off. Unions jumping in have a much different agenda...
