    A message to brokers and carriers.

    I am looking for current info on Thompson Emergency Freight

    If you know what kind of company is this TEFS, why would you bother to search for more bad things about them? There are many other respectable carriers that deserve attention. My POV.

    I can tell you why rates are so low. Its not fuel.

    One of my drivers asked me few days ago to give up on the carrier that I'm leased with, and switch to multi-carrier formula... I explained to him that his proposal is a bad idea. Been there already 5-6 yrs ago, I wouldn't do it again.

    Would you take Higher Rate and less Miles or More Miles and Lower Rate?

    Cargo Van Buying New Van
