    Stolen Bolt Cargo Van

    Didn't know they had that. That may be problematic in finding it knowing that. May be just someone joy riding it. Hopefully they get it back.

    Stolen Bolt Cargo Van

    Why don't they track it with the QC or GPS. I thought they had something on them.

    to do or not to do

    Since I like to gamble, my bet is on the owner saying he would hire you, and in the process found someone qualified by the carrier. Or.......he never intended to hire a solo and is mating folks for a team operation. If, and I say if he is bs'ing you now, pretty good chance he will be bs'ing...

    can we get a little more clarity on the boards

    As mentioned earlier, broker loads are figured into that daily average. Using your example, the load would be figured in the Cleveland average even though they dispatch a truck from a different board.

    Stuck In Florida..Once Again

    Not really sure but I would venture to guess it is either lack of specific cargo insurance for those or permits. If they don't pay enough, that may be why they get brokered?

    Stuck In Florida..Once Again

    I wouldn't pay any attention to those averages. They are based on pro numbers issued. What I mean is, loads that are brokered out are also counted in that number. You may for example see a two a day average out of Reno. The part you don't see is part of that average is cigerette runs that they...

    Stuck In Florida..Once Again

    Not always, but it helps if you can go in the ports, do hazmat or DOD leads to get out unless you know where the frieght is coming from either from Panther or brokering your own load. Either wait it out, don't accept loads there, or DH up to GA, AL, or SC Backhaul Dept is more effective if...

    2010 has come in with a BANG!

    There is a lot of folks out of work which in part drives the current situation. Can't blame the carriers for wanting to capitalize on it. My only beef with some is they are less than forthcoming with why they are doing it. I go with the same plan. If I don't like the run, I will find my own...

    2010 has come in with a BANG!

    That is what many are essentially saying. Just looks and sounds better when they wrap it up with some flowery bs.

    2010 has come in with a BANG!

    Its all relative depending on what rate you are running at and how much DH your doing.

    2010 has come in with a BANG!

    Rates have remained fairly steady to the customer, but many companies have a smaller load count. In order to maintain the same profit margins, they pull the difference through the rates. Unfortunately, they are doing it on the backs of their fleets whether through reduced rates, load offer...

    2010 has come in with a BANG!

    From our prospective and probably many others, $1.12 would be considered running at a reduced rate all the time. Doesn't mean we wouldn't consider a load at that rate in some circumstances, but not as a standard rate. Could be worse, one or two carriers have their standard rate at 1.05.:eek...

    If you are not there now, then how would you know? I would feel pretty comfortable saying any carrier that was around in 95 is quite different today.

    2010 has come in with a BANG!

    Just more of a curiosity question as I don't follow them that close. Didn't know if they ran the rate they ran some time back or if it was something different.
