    How are things going this year?

    agree to a point.... how much of the MRSP includes "expedite" costs?.... I can imagine the bidding to win a parts contract is very competitive....with the Likes of TRW, Eaton, ACI, Dana the list goes on.....I really don't think there is a big profit margin as many may think...The cost to make...

    How are things going this year?

    There was a debate?....lol Can't wait for carriers that do the flat rate model of FSC to realize they are over paying the gas cargo vans and way over paying the diesels.... since the formula is set at 15 mpg....those CV's getting 18 mpg are actually have 100% of their fuel paid....

    How are things going this year?

    I would think not .... A van or truck every 4-6 hrs is in no way profitable....auto production was much different way back then..... Now many models share the same platform and share many of the same parts.... And many a time we see they really don't need the parts but the supplier dropped below...

    How are things going this year?

    Auto parts expedite seems to be the foundation or say building block or core....then there is the say R&R, food industry, military or major mechanical breakdown of a vital machine....which usually has a real expedite need....if you'd take auto parts out of the equation we could probably...

    How are things going this year?

    Well Blizz....as you know this business relies a lot on shippers errors, bad quality parts, Logistic management errors, inventory errors....when everyone does their job...it slows down...the idea is NOT to ship expedite because like dead head miles its a direct loss from the profit margin...

    Help someone.. get fired...

    It's not Walmarts responsibility to provide a wage for employees to live on.... A drop out from school probably doesn't deserve much more for unskilled labour ...if you can't live on it... Go back to school and or get another job to help their budget. It sounds awfully liberal/ unionistic of you...
