    Good news is hardly any vehicles in Detroit! Odd how that works. One Monday tons of units stacked up, the next hardly any. I love this business.

    In defense of Rich, the cv is in a much tougher position. They do not have the flexibility with the number of carriers who will sign them on or run them. I also think that has created a bit of the "multi-carrier" market.

    Software companies do adapt. But what you are talking about would not be loved by all of their customers. So basically they have no dog in this fight and they would gain nothing to upset some of their customers. They are a dispatch software, not a regulatory company. Kind of like asking...

    Not sure how you can control what carriers are bidding or not bidding for you. If you tell 3 carriers that you are empty in Chicago, don't all 3 go to work trying to load you? Sylectus is a dispatch software. They would have no interest in doing seething like that and most carriers on the multi...

    I saw an E1 sprinter there this morning when I stopped in. Thought it was a cross dock or something. Wish I had know it was Eddie as I have never met him in person.

    We generally do not use a carrier that operates it's vehicles under a multi-carrier structure. I have concerns not just about supply and demand, but also insurance, compliance and safety liability with these type carriers. While I will not say never, it is pretty much our last resort option to...

    Rich, Aggressive biding like you mention is often "cheap" rates versus anything else These companies are not staffed up and bidding 24/7 for their trucks. Wait, they have no dedicated fleet or expenses. They push that expense over to the owner operator?
