Everyone must be driving or sleeping.......

It very well may be. The other carrier you bought may not be. If you have a doubt, I would be safe and have an attorney review it. Cheaper to know for sure up front, than to possibly spend a lot of money in legal later. Seen it happen too many times. Everyone's contract has different...

Ok Charles, I just laughed out load on an airplane!

Good morning from beautiful DTW airport. Another day, another airplane........

I do find the title to this thread and the purpose of it to be the big lie.

I am sorry but I don't remember meeting you, but I have no reason to doubt your story. Still not sure for the motive as it is years later. You are attacking us because we didn't give a one or two vehicle brand new carrier loads back in 2009? I am sure I gave him the name of the person in...

Actually that is not true. Most 3pls manage the freight ON BEHALF of the customer if you read the contracts. Most are not brokers and you are billing them in care of the customer, thus it is not a double broker situation. You are actually extending credit to their customer and it becomes your...

Correct. It is legal. This will just better reflect what is truly out there for vehicles.

Works good if it makes operational/financial sense. Helps utilization numbers, that is for sure.

Actually one is company, the other is an owner operator. Much like the company daycabs go out and get trailers preloaded for our truckload owner operators. Pretty simple really.

Most all of the feedback I have gotten on workflow has been very positive. Most drivers find it much easier, especially if you have a multiple stop load. Be patient grasshopper, only at 19 hours. You shall roll.

Good morning....it is I, John Elliott. The most loved and yet hated man in expedite..... :cool:

Yes, I did remove his posts on facebook and removed him from posting on our page. You are the only person we have ever done that too on facebook in 4 years of posting. That should tell you something. Facebook is not an open discussion forum as this site is and David was not even on topic...

Or they don't know about it yet. I have seen a few legal battles and some TEANA ethics complaints filed on this topic. Tread carefully as you don't want to get a bad name among the other carriers even if it is by accident.

Technically the answer would be yes iny opinion. Legally you had no relationship with the customer prior to hauling for the people you signed agreements with, so most would consider that a back solicitation. I am sure if you did business and brokered the load someone and they later went to them...

If you had a documented business relationship with the shipper before hauling for someone else you are probably ok. If someone sued you their is no saying for sure how the courts would rule for sure. I guess a lot of the other factors of the situation would come into question.

I would tread carefully. Many 3pl's allow carriers and/or the larger carriers to broker their freight. Your customer is who you are billing and that is who your contract is with. Who the person you take the load from's ultimate customer is not legally relevant, your contract with the carrier is.

As we watch these multi carriers close their doors, new ones are appearing just as fast. Supply and demand will remain unchanged. Relatively cheap and easy to get into business this way, and cheap and easy to get out of business this way.

A number of owners including myself pushed for this change. Hopefully better for everyone involved.

Sylectus has agreed to make that change by the vin number. Not sure how long till this modification goes into production. The sooner the better.
