    Well I will have to run some reports tomorrow to give you the numbers. I will have to take a look at it. At some point we border on corporate vs. public information, lol.

    monday 11-15-10 is a uaw holiday?

    I am always amazed that the union gets these kind of things. But, yes the UAW plants in Michigan are all closed Monday. I think the story is they take the first day of deer season off in exchange for working on MLK day. Only in America.

    I do agree with a number of your points. I think it is important to maintain a good fleet size. When I say good size, I think that you need to keep your asset side in a certain ratio with your non-asset side. We have both the brokerages and the fleet. Yes, a lot of business is derived in the...

    Drop in Freight the past couple of weeks??

    3 weeks ago was great, in fact one of the best the company has ever had. The last two weeks have definitely seen a drop in customer and board freight. It almost seems like it dropped off on election day and just didn't come back. We have bid on some loads planning on taking a loss and still...

    I agree with you 100% on that it comes down to how a company is run and how a fleet is nurtured and taken care of. On the customer side, you are only partially correct. Not all customers are 100% price driven. They do not want to see a high % or all of their freight covered by the carriers...

    We have the facility, but to be honest we have not found the right person to open and run it. I thought it would be much easier to find someone than I had thought. I would rather leave it empty and launch it when we have the right body in place. Things got really busy up here as well and we...

    Straight trucks generally require one year of OTR experience. Our insurance company sets these standards in conjunction with us. We can sometimes waive it down to 9 months, if the driver has a clean mvr and no accidents. Sometimes prior driving experience can receive partial credit such as...

    SmartPhone Survey

    Web site is awesome, just hard to do on the blackberry. Not sure if they are that popular on the driver side, so I am probably in the minority. Great job as always!
