I don't blame you. From the OP I thought they had just announced some new upcoming fees.

Maybe greedy. If they tell you, and you agree to stay, how can you call them a thief ?

There was a lawsuit reported on today in Landline that is over a Carrier filtering money through entities it owns to decrease revenue paid to it's O/O's. ( Go 2, based in Az.) This made me think the problem is our percentages need to be based off total cost to the shipper. Logs ? It'd be cool...

I'm old enough to know better but still too young to care. All jokes aside, I think I'm about as old as the OP but how are we to know ?

Dave's right. It's easier to tolerate if you understand what's happening. Carrier X will book the load through Carrier X logistics. Carrier X logistics sells it to Carrier X Transportation for 80 cents on the dollar. Carrier X Transportation gives it to their O/O for 65% or whatever. So...

Look up Federal Truth in Leasing. (49 CFR 376).

May Day May Day A good day for everyone to turn down any loads under a buck. Enticed by doubling up ? Take $2. Make the agents get back to the customer with I can't move it that cheap. Easier to get it going with OVM at home.

It makes sense for the broker with the .60 vans to get as much as possible,also. With the % carrier they are required by law to give you proof of the rate. Edit: proof of rate may not be required in the unregulated segment.

Bako missed a great opportunity to air his story to people with 100's of years combined experiance. They could have explained why whatever happened did . No one company will please everybody. ES's history is that they do a lot of good things for a lot of people. Bako needs to understand what...

Yeah, but if your magnet means Laredo to Michigan, another is Laredo to So Cal, another Laredo to New England, etc, do you really care about those other magnets if you're wanting to get back towards Taylor ?

I'd be inclined to hide the paper log and show the e-log. It will be legal, shouldn't get you any stupid tickets for silly errors, and they used to not look at them very closely. The paper log I would leave out of reach, out of sight. And copy it as close to exactly as you can at the end of...

It is very rare to hear a negative comment about ES. As large as they are, and as old as they are, you'd think there'd be more negative stuff. I imagine they are pretty awesome to have the positive reputation they have. So, do you have an interesting story to share ?

TK, you have a reason to have the authority to operate in conjunction with your show activities. Would you get authority just to run load board freight w/o having to lease to a carrier ? If my uncle said I'll give you X amount of freight if you get your own authority, that makes sense to me. To...

I never understood your own authority to run load board freight. It only makes sense to me if you have enough direct customers to carry that overhead.

I guess I missed the part where we hear why the present box needs replacing. If selling it is an option, why not sell as is or as a cab and chassis ? That may be interesting to more buyers than a flatbed. I also think a professionally built used flatbed could be bought for less than $5,000.

You can offset some of the weight and wear issues if you only put 20 gallons or whatever you may need to get back to cheaper prices. If you guess low you at least are buying less high price fuel than without the added tank.

That's a complex answer. Democrats should pay 15% more than others.

Mike, you evidently don't understand the whole Dave Ramsey concept. Go to the library and check out the Total Money Makeover. There's life changing concepts in there that if you weren't taught elsewhere can be a total game changer for you and your family.

Is there much weight difference between gas and diesel ? Of course, you've gained 50 lbs cargo capacity this year. Congrats on that.
