    Senate Bill Targets Broker Fraud

    The concept is good, but I don't think it is really an effective answer. A small broker may do that much business in 2 months, while someone like CH Robinson does that in less than a day. Does that make the small broker bad, or does it just create an unfair and inequitable playing field. The...

    I can only speak as a carrier, but we use them and have not had any issues.

    FSC-Why don't companies pay 100% of it to us?

    Depends on how the carrier charges, some charge on a per mile, some charge on a % basis. Often times the customer dicatates the fsc program and the carrier must determine if it is adequate to cover the owner operator, or if they need to walk away from the business.

    FSC-Why don't companies pay 100% of it to us?

    I stand corrected and need to revise my statement. Any good truckload carrier is not making money unless they are taking it and not passing it through to the actual fuel purchaser. Most fsc starts at a $1.10-$1.25 base. So in a scenario...fuel is $3.00 per gallon for round numbers, then you...

    FSC-Why don't companies pay 100% of it to us?

    From what I have seen when a carrier does not charge fsc they are simply looking to try and grab some market share. Fuel is one of the largest expenses in our industry. You will probably never see a company that has company equipment do this. Why? Because they are paying for fuel and they...

    FSC-Why don't companies pay 100% of it to us?

    Our expedite group is a 100% pass through on FSC. The person paying for the fuel, should be the person getting the fuel surcharge. I do not believe for one minute that truckload carriers are making a profit on fuel surcharge, it is simply not possible. Now with that being said ltl carriers...

    I wonder how this would work out?

    TEANA votes for a carrier of the year. Every member company gets one vote, so it is based on company to company voting. I think last year was C&M out of Cleveland. They will announce this years winner at the TEANA conference in July and I will let everyone know who wins.

    I have never understood the two tiered % concept vs. just calculating it out to a single percentage?

    No better compliment than the simple truth! Thanks!

    pay rate question?

    I agree with Dave on the integrity issue. We have no problem showing an owner operator copies of any billing for loads they hauled any time.

    Just a great big thank you to the employees of Load One!!!!! In the last week we were able to raise $500 for the Red Cross. The money is being spent to help the families that were hit in the tornado in Dundee Michigan two weeks ago. The Red Cross is still feeding 400-500 people everyday in the...
