    Senate Proposes New 100k Surity Bond For Freight Brokers!

    I understand. But maybe it was too easy for guys to become carriers in the past? Easy entry often lead many to easy exit. When a company is small they have to really work with disadvantages to succeed. I started off by renting my tractors. Very little profit, but I rolled everything I made...

    Senate Proposes New 100k Surity Bond For Freight Brokers!

    Again, I am no fan of increased regulation. I agree, it may create difficulties for small start ups. I think OOIDA's goal is good, but I agree that I do not think this is the ultimate answer or the best solution. Bonds are in insurance product and are based on underwriting. Much as why some...

    Sylectus Conference; Who's Attending?

    Not sure I need the Mr title, but thanks from 30,000 feet. I think Phil is just trying to report what he saw and bring more perspective. Even if only a small percentage read, care or appreciate the goal is to provide content that appeals to many. It was a good conference. A number of good...

    Mac 19 is not always accurate in the yard. We have a number of local or Canadian units so it often skews the result. Ck with dispatch.

    Delta has the most flights and the most direct flights out of Detroit. So that really helps. Rates are. Overall but for me time is money and delta has my wifi service so I can keep working.

    Or sitting in a conference meeting on improving operational effeciencies and new qcomm workflow. Which we will be rolling out very soon. Should be easier and more efficient for our drivers. Wolfeman got a peek of it a few weeks ago.

    True, I just think it would get way more use if it was on site. Out of site, out of mind kind of thing. A lot of staff would use it on lunch.
