    Moving up...

    I've often wondered why a shipper would book an expedite T/T and pay expedite rates. Why not deal with a large truckload carrier that runs teams or has the ability to relay the trailer. If you are pulling a 53" dry box, aren't you competing with the large TL carriers?

    Saying "no" to cheap freight!!

    It should be noted that the national average price of gasoline for the year 1997 was $1.25 and diesel was $1.20. I'm certainly happy that the price of fuel is the only increased expense my business has incurred over the past 18 years. It would really be tough out here if the prices for parts...

    Saying "no" to cheap freight!!

    I've posted this before. These are rates that were in effect January 1, 1997. The truck got 58.5% of these rates. If we are hauling for less than the rate was 18 years ago then we are all hauling cheap freight!

    Uber-like Shippers Looking Hard at Expediting

    Truck drivers will still be needed to unload, sort and segregate freight at grocery houses. Robots are too intelligent to do it.
