    RE: Toyota Wins

    I stand corrected.. The first NASCAR competition held outside of the U.S. was in Canada, where on July 1, 1952, Buddy Shuman won a 200-lap race on a half-mile (800 m) dirt track in Stamford Park, Ontario, near Niagara Falls.

    new dispatch system @ the fed

    No kidding....show me the money is what we say!!! But really...it would have to be a supervisor or a CSR...you just can't call a customer back and say HEY you gotta pay more! that would be embarassing and unprofessional. Unless it's an equipment upgrade or something. So what does a...

    Wonder who'd take over Trip-pak? Besides most are O/O's just like us if DHL sells out there will be yet another flood of vans into our area.

    new dispatch system @ the fed

    I don't understand this offer, counter offer and perk thingee...a dipatcher knows the bottom line of a load before the process...in these difficult times...just move the bottom figure to the top line and offer that number....like I said it's not rocket science here.

    new dispatch system @ the fed

    The best system obviously is for the carrier to offer the best rate they can....do away with all this offer, counter offer and little perks crap....that would speed up the system. Nothing like a speeder way to keep offering crappy rated loads. The main problem I see is low paying loads getting...

    Load Opportunities

    Excuse me for butting into your forum...but just have to say that this change looks like a great way to speed up the dispatch process and get ya rollin to the customer. I always wondered aout having say 6 D units and each one is given 10 minutes. It would take almost an hour just to dispatch a...

    With this in mind I think I'd be telling any carrier that when the equipment comes off the unit there better be a check cut the same day.

    The escrow is not ALL about the equipment....It also covers any fines that might come in from Canada Customs Service that might show up after the unit leaves...

    GM 4500 Cargo Van

    Considering the average age of the present forum members and considering how long it takes the Hill to do anything...We'll prolly not see that in our lifetime...unless as terry said there's a serious accident and the lawmakers have one of them knee jerk reactions.

    GM 4500 Cargo Van

    a quasi-regulated expediter...one that insists on swaps and xdocks and safety breaks and then asks you to put on 3500lbs in the next breath!!!
