Anything that is "fixed" by the carrier translates into a profitable "fix" for the carrier. Not for the contractor. It is either gaming by the carrier, or their inability to consistently find profitable freight or both. With that said, it really is more tied to the overall rate. Would we...

I would read Phil's posts. I think he explained his reason. I could care less actually. My comments are directed at your post concerning your complaint of hearsay. If you can't explain it, yet you state you know what they are doing, well.......you are going to get hearsay. Nothing complicated.

Maybe because they are former contractors or know some that are still there? I am not understanding what you are being so defensive about? I don't personally have a dog in the fight unless they want a photo of me for the Fedex dartboard.:D You stated they have a "new form". May want to go up...

I will go with Phil's thinking in that one doesn't have to be with a carrier to observe or understand certain events. In the interest of eliminating hearsay, it would be beneficial for those concerned for you to describe the "different form" coming in the future.

With all the changes, maybe those people are no longer there? Just a thought.

Naw.....just have to carry several on the trucks at a time. :D

You may want to ask Camper.

Quite a few on the Alliance board. We delivered yesterday in Laredo, but loaded out the same day for Chicago.

Don't get me started on Stoops. Last year we took a truck in for a leaking compressor which we told and pointed out to them. They said they couldn't tell the mechanic because "they have to find the problem". Well, you guessed it. Replaced the whole dryer assembly and said they couldn't find...

Your kidding right? What accomplishments?

Certainly one of the places of frustration.

The biggest issue in these is that too much time was wasted. Two days at KW and then two days at Cummins. It certainly trashed a good week on this truck. But we are up and running and that is the good news.

Thank you:D

Just a heads up, if you want a computer code fixed, avoid this dealership. Had a truck get the engine light (code 2215-fuel pressure fault) and was experiencing power loss. They got us in replaced a filter and a sensor that we didn't need. Long story short, charged $600 saying they couldn't...

Thats the difference between a true technician and a parts changer.

Don't blame them. The local places will do a better job and be a fraction of the price. We had a M2 that was going through condensors only to find out Freightliner changed the vendor three times. No recalls or anything. Just wait until it quits/leaks and then they keep putting in the same junk...

Freightliner and a working air conditioner aren't usually together in the same sentence. Do you ever notice they never actually repair it. They tear the whole thing out every time. New compressor, dryer, lines, you name it.

Might be able to use them for seat warmers in the winter time. :D

I think I would go with the Turtle quote. "slow and steady wins the race". Professionally secure and drive the freight to location safely. There isn't any freight worth crashing or having a fatality over. If the customer wants it faster, then happily tell them air freight options are...

One of many reasons we left that same carrier years ago. I have little patience for a carrier that can't find freight in a area where I can and they should have many more resources. The discouraging thing was at that time was they were high paying loads and required little to set them up. No...
