Running local is repetitive!

How many stops per day, what size truck are you in, income?

How many miles are on your Sprinter? I was under the impression this is a problem related to high miles. I've never had such thing happen w/ 300k or less range.

La used to be a 3-4 a day board. I'm trying to erase the West Coast from the Cargo van segment of this business. Gotta charge $2 per mile when going into Seattle. Been sitting here 17 days, I suppose it is not a bad place to sit but the lows will be dropping down to mid 40's next week which is...

Sounds like davekc and you are on the same page regarding this topic. :)

Re: Are Any Expedited Carriers Concerned with keeping on Own/Op with current low rate another contributing factor is that the load can go through 4-5 different brokers before being delivered to the customer, everyone has to get a piece of the profit so when it gets to the last person which...

Very inspiring words Bruno. Hope you have a nice weekend.

We are being optimistic about this and hope they will understand her side regarding how the accident occurred, as tomorrow I think we will get a answer and move on in the best way possible. Forgot to mention that the TT that was hit took off after accident, that hopefully will work in favor.

Here are the stats. It may be closer to 60k. There are some miles in there unaccounted. Loads Loaded Miles Empty Moves Empty Miles DH Miles 71 38273 24 9435 4943

That included deadhead and empty miles and personal miles. Not sure what the loaded amount was but I can look that up and post details. I finally got a chance to speak with her today about 36 hours after the accident she is doing ok with 2 broken ribs and small scrapes, and wants to get back on...

I don't think it will, someone with more panther "premium logistics" experience could probably make a better assessment. I've only had this truck on for 21 months. Accumulated 155k in that time period. Seems like that is pretty good amount for this business. She had ran 62k+ in 5 months. Now I...

No fires that van was going to go 800k+ nothing was stopping it. Coast to Coast ready at 317k

I ran Canadian Loads all last spring/summer. Was bouncing back from Toronto to Chicago all day long. Not sure if I will do that this year... looking like a insurance payoff might not be that bad as slow as it is.... stay small and wait for business to pick back up.

Where you at?? I've been stuck in Seattle area for 2 weeks! Had a offer to Spokane, Sidney BC and Portland today, didn't get any of them... let's see what these last two days will bring!

Well I'm a small operation, two 2006 Sprinters. One I drive part time and the other one is leased on to Panther that was involved in a accident this morning. My driver who I've had for almost 6 months rear ended a semi today early this morning. Still waiting to hear from the safety dept...

Vancouver is about 100 miles from where I'm at.

Had a offer going into BC today but over bid it, I'm hear most of the loads go back down to CA from up here.

Finally got out on Sunday with a load into BC! Hanging out in Seattle with Sprinter. You guys must think I'm insane for coming up here in a Cargo Van :rolleyes: Weather is quite nice and so is the scenery.

This is a great thread in the making! Gotta get my battery charged up :)
