    Saying "no" to cheap freight!!

    I understand ...I do....I think the Active/Roadrunner model is very efficient for customers knowing where their freight is as in JD and now GM ...as Caterpillar is to Fedex and Whirlpool are to Panther...almost exclusive service with very limited brokering out....the lessening of load board...

    Saying "no" to cheap freight!!

    i mean outfits like Bounce, Trinity, Ryder, Penske ....do fine it appears trucking has had the onion appearance.....many layers to peel back....and it is still growing... when I see loads being brokered out 3-4 times before the money gets to me....that indicates skimming to me and waste of time...

    In the U.S., most OTR drivers are paid by the mile. Australia, though, is ending that practice

    In my career I've come across shippers that know exactly that they have a 2-3 hr window to load us or unload us before D Time kicks in....and they take full advantage of it...it really is a piss off to know in 1 hour and 55 minutes you will get loaded...

    keep in mind the replacement value rider....don't over value your van....I see some that do...that makes a whack of difference.... I have NO replacement rider on my million mile van....as what they charge works out to almost $1,000 per every $10,000 of coverage.... I am just hoping to hit a very...

    Saying "no" to cheap freight!!

    I was thinking..... amazing even in the way this industry is today still more new carriers popping up creating even more People In Management Positions They proceed to throw new HO's out on every street corner to pick off that stray John/load.... IMO....:)
