    because BigCat, pretty fast it's becomes a price shopping ordeal, have nothing to do with available trucks, and a lot to do with keeping the costumer happy, and laughing all the way to the bank, on the drivers expense. why pay 'your' drivers it's contract rate, when you can keep that shipper...

    That's all nice & dicy, but we see 2 trucks in Laredo, once the Shipper is happy, the Carrier is happy, we have no incentive to keep the O/O happy. just place the freight on a partner carrier truck, and keep your rigs available for a just in-case. not a 'just in case the shipper call', "just in...

    a load board is designed to make sure the costumer freight is being covered. a bid board is designed to lower the shippers costs. both designed to screw the drivers, by making sure ALL available trucks are fighting for the same freight, regardless of the DoT # on the door. reread Mr CharlesD...

    I said Philosophical question. so thanks for playing along. they can rearrange truck loans as much as they wish. & yes they will do it over a bank holiday.(*) but then owning a truck that'll have no good paying freight to haul, especially a small one, in a tight rates market will not do us any...

    well now, hold on, you just ignored an important philosophical question. IF the $ go to the dump, and we will need more $'s to buy same product & we will get paid more $'s for our services, won't it be cheaper to buy your debt then ? if so, won't it be a good financial plan to spent our money...
