    Just Wondering ....... Who do you work for?

    Spell how I do and talk how I do but the point is I am not hauling cheap freight and anyone hauling cheap freight should be ashamed and deserves to run out of money !

    FYI food grade

    The load is packaged boxed cookies none are loose at all so I didn't see the reason why the lady went goofy. I hauled a load of tomatoes and a inspector went in and said trailer was ok so I assume it is fine. For that produce run the trailer had to be washed out before loading.

    I agree with you Greg ! This was my complaint when I was a vanner I would ask why don't you hire someone to help find freight at night or weekends? And I always got the same answers because there isn't any freight nights and weekends. Funny thing was when I started booking my own loads on top of...

    Too many vanners now ?

    Will vanners make any money now after the expo from what I have read many new vanners are getting into the industry. I mean I got out of vans because of the sitting and waiting and if more competition now it will mean more waiting. Just curious what you all think about that.
