Just remember, if your whole sales pitch starts with "I can save you some money," you're screwed, and so is the the whole industry. I never sell lower rates, but higher service. Expedite is a high service, get it when you need it industry. What are you currently offering for truckload on...

Are you talking contractor pay or actual carrier charges? Even though there are some "lowballers", if you are talking carrier charges, I think you might be on the cheap side. If you are including a fuel charge, then that is most definitely true.

Well, how many guys named Dean do you think there are at CTX in a Sprinter?

....AND a liftgate and pads. I had a leased O/O tell me last week that 4 out of the last five loads he got required liftgate. Running team, that translated into about 5500 loaded miles in one week Granted that doesn't happen quite like that every week but that truck gets moved while others sit.

If you see any of these online, please post us a pic. By that same note, I'd be happy to see them do a little redesign on the tanks, period! One that would make it next to impossible to siphon out fuel.

Blinker pump replacement is far less painful than the kidney.

oh, and fortunately, they left all blinker fluid intact.

I had a buddy here in town that had 50 gallons of diesel removed from his tank recently. $200 at the time. I guess he decided that $200 more in locking caps wasn't that big of a deal.

No they do not. It's because if you have your own authority, you not just an O/O, you are legally a carrier, which all of the same rights and privileges granted by the FMCSA. You can be a one or two truck company, the Fed sees you no different than if you were Bolt, Panther or Landstar. You...

No, because this is a cert that JB would keep. You would have your agent make you up another one for Schneider that has THEIR name on it.

Ok. Unfortunately, he is not talking about JB Hunt self insuring themselves. Please reread his question, and welcome to EO, newbie. The certificate is issued from your insurance company (if you are a carrier) listing your company as the primary insured and listing the company you are...

If he were running his own authority, he would not be using mag signs for other carriers, he would have his own plastered on the truck. So, I agree it may be a tall tale.

Yes, JB does use outside carriers. The certificate they mention is common in the industry. Most large carriers, and even some brokers require this. Basically, you're listing them as an additional insured. Don't know if I necessarily like it, but it is a fact of life. Normally, you don't...

Behind every great man.....stands a surprised mother-in-law.

Turtle, I surely mean no offense to you. What is your issue with my comment? My comment was directed at the fact that any such website with any carrier is indeed not the business of any of it's contractors. Throughout the freight market as a whole, there is cooperation between carrier...

Why would you want to be a contractor AND a motor carrier at the same time? The only reason that one would try is that they're too chicken to jump ship. Unless someone went into a contract already having their own authority, they would most likely end up paying double in insurance; once on...

Go out and get all three seasons of the TV show ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT. That will keep your brain on edge as well as your funnybone. Seasons are 20 bucks a piece at Target. Three discs each.

nunya.....:)

Protest for what? Stop traffic for what? BTW, it's not my opinion anyways. This "petition" was in fact SPAM.
