Had an "Alliance" load picked in Marshall Mi going to Canada..i'd say about 110 miles to the border from there approx. They called 1 1/2 hours later asked if I made the border...told them I was just at the city limits..."they said...the speed limit is 70 in Mi whats keeping you??? I can't type...

A month or so ago E-1 split the load planners(dispatchers) inot separate divisions, van/sprinter- C's &D's- tractors. My assumption and thats all it is that they had a team meeting and someone mentioned that vans do it faster and a decision was made at that level...I've been trying to get ahold...

RE: and borders too finally 2 people who can see the big picture... turtle.. bless you for your loooong response this time... BTW I seen that E-1 crack..*L* you just couldn't help yourself afterall look who you drive for....*L*

RE: and borders too Jefferson Good point...We always show up at the shippers early just in case it's ready early and punch the QC that we've arrived...now the "cheat factor" we don't always punch in that we're loaded...we hold back for 15-20 minutes Just so the clock doesn't start! But only do...

RE: Canadian Expediters and The Par Loonie/US Doll Closing to-day the U.S dollar .933 Canadian. With service charges going to cost at least $1.10 U.S for one loonie.

RE: and borders too ATeam said "When that happens, it has never been a problem. We just notify dispatch that we are running late for those reasons. They bump the delivery time and everything is good." Thats the other point I was trying to make. By increasing the speed we are calling in at...

RE: and borders too Doggie...I was thinking bedpan myself! BTW...where the heck ya been? I heard Harry banned ya?*L* Well I'll just wait till someone increases the C and D speeds then I'll sit back and watch all thier whinning!!!

RE: and borders too How do ya maintain 50 mph average when it's 5 miles of city driving and 200 miles on a secondary highway speed limit 55mph and 6 small towns speed limits 35-25mph? I know, on the open stretches wind it up and do 75 mph!!! Now thats real smart and professional. My point...

RE: and borders too Greg....OMG you can't see a problem? 50 is fine IF you pick near the interstate and drop close to an interstate. Like I said try Gary to Kokomo at 4pm...all secondary and lights and small towns. Its do-able but not comfortable. Secondary MIGHT average 60mph hit 2 lights stop...

I don't think the ramifications of such a decision were well thought out if at all....Theres just too many reasons NOT to increase the speed! Not to mention the clock atarts ticking at pick-up time.....now just how many times if ya have a 5pm pic do you get outta there maybe 5;10-5:15??? Your...

turtle said "Next thing you know they'll be charging you for the privilege of loading your money onto your Comdata card." They do that.... don't they???? Nothing like paying to get your paycheck!

Well Express-One has one strike in my books. The other week I questioned the timing of a trip that was set at 50 mph and was told that now ALL trips were set that way!!! before it was just NLM at 50 and all others at INDUSTRY STANDARD 45 mph. I find this unconsulted increase in mph contrary to...
