    Opps.....

    Fuel prices keep climbing and in 30 days they will be flying off the lot. Fuel drops and SUV sales climb. Consumers have VERY short memories.

    Leased on with multiple carriers

    Like Turri said those are the base requirements. Not really much different than calling TMW or McLeod or any other major dispatch software. But as he pointed out not very cost effective for a real small fleet (no brand really is). Flying van points out exactly my point with 2 or 3 calling with...

    Leased on with multiple carriers

    Sylectus is a software, not a membership and it has very little rules or oversight. It is like buying any other software. So they really don't care or want to get into this fight. They are software people, bottom line. Now TEANA is am organization and it has rules, but it is a trade...

    It isn't illegal or anything like that. So Sylectus would really have no place or authority to get involved with something like that.

    Yes many of them are on Sylectus. But even if they are not, they create false capacity with customers. Supply and demand are what determines rates. Artificial supply, drives the demand curve down. The shipper is the only one who ultimately wins with this model.

    Leased on with multiple carriers

    From 30,000 ft.....I think it is a growing trend as of the last two years. Progressive Insurance started offering and marketing this insurance. It was not very common or easy to find previously. I think it is already starting to lose favor with a number of guys running for multiple carriers...

    I feel bad for the guy in the Bolt forum who keeps talking to himself..... If you ain't first, your last. Didn't get the award I wanted this year, but we will get it next year. Visited another good customer here in Memphis and now getting ready to board yet another plane.

    Leased on with multiple carriers

    Charles my comment about working from home was intended as just one possible piece of a very thin company. No primary insurance or on one imaginary vehicle, factoring, and a number of other items just make it too easy in my opinion for someone to close up and burn the trucks. I am in no way...

    Even if they have to replace hood insurance should pay for a modified hood to match the damaged one. We had some alum rims in the shop that an oo was trying to sell. Not sure of price or value.

    Wolverine Freightliner in Dearborn does all of our body work and is the best I have seen around.

    Leased on with multiple carriers

    Vans don't require their own authority. So they get their own liability and cargo insurance policies. They then sign up to run for multiple carriers. While some of these carriers are good, many are not. Many are far undercapitalized and you will see many threads on here about owner operators...

    Morning guys. Posted in the wrong month! Load One will be a the show, make sure to stop bye. Feel free to hang out at the booth. I would much rather have guys talk to our real owner operators than a recruiter or me for the real scoop. Another day another airplane for me. This mornings...
