    Denver CO, must be worse then Laredo.

    Is the daily average much better because your carrier (or most carriers for that matter) have far more equipment in the KC area? KC might be better or worse, but if you only look at loads and not capacity I don't think you are getting much of a complete picture. That is the problem with...

    That is just it. The smallest of things makes a lasting impression. Something as simple as saying "thank you for choosing Load One today" or "thank you for trusting Load One for your expedite needs" they may not seem like much but they do leave a lasting impression and are one more thing that...

    True, but I think it is always a good reminder and something to think about from time to time. We do the same thing in the office with our staff. Service and how we project to our customers is HUGE! Really nice compliment from one of our customers yesterday on our facebook page that is worth...

    I agree. They run a great business but they are even better people.

    Partially agree. A ton of our freight is direct, but more and more customers use the boards. For instance we have customers that may only have 4 primary carriers, but they still run it through someone like Active PTM board. The electronic exchange system slowly but surely keeps growing. This...

    I agree. I think this is a case of time and place and the spot bid market not rates we would give to a standard customer. Competition in the small truck market is fierce. We see way more pricing pressures in this area as compared to the larger class of vehicles. Service is always the best sell.

    That and with a lot of the changes we are really pressing for units to be sitting less and moving more.

    No. Been a bit tough in a few areas. I would rather have them ask then listen to drivers say I would have moved for less instead If sitting. Always better to communicate and go forward. Road king is one of only 2 OTR cargo vans left in the fleet. So that is a tough market and it seems to only...

    Did slow down today that is for sure. It was a Canadian holiday and a US govt holiday. Last week was still good numbers. Will see what tomorrow brings. They do some great concerts here. Last night we were at a dinner with International Trucks about 200 people and they had 2 American Idols and...

    It is partially automated. Actually not always as simple as it seems. We have to look at turn downs or other items to make sure unit is eligible. We will have units turn down loads and then put in for a layover. Other times a unit might only want to go a certain place so they are not...
