parked in a rest area...228 miles to go...my motto...i never drive at night when not being paid!..LOL
supper and TV time...1 last night of piece and quiet....before...Honey can you get this...hahaha
I have walked into many a "customer" and how many times I can't count they had every other carriers magnets stuck to their filing cabinets so we are not exclusive to that customer
My point was it was going to be an expedite only because somebody thought it didn't get shipped when it should have...at that point is when an LTL shipment becomes an expedite shipment
So two dispatchers have this load they look at the board and see Charlie is next up but they know he will want $.90 one dispatcher says to the other let's just sell it for $.70 and screw Charlie..
So they turn over a profit on the load and make it even more insulting they continue to charge...
Expedite as we used to know it is a done deal... better warehouse inventory control.. better technology for shippers.. Means Far Less loads.,.we had a load on the hook this morning and then It promptly canceled why? Because someone actually did their job yesterday and shipped it LTL...
If I were prospecting now....there is no way in Gods good graces would I ever come into this business now....I am fortunate to have ridden the wave..but it has crested....now to ride that wave out for some beach time...:)
