I think that vulnerability is more prevalent with vans just because there is so many. As far as what a carrier moves a load for likely depends on the account or whether it is a bid load. Certainly has to be some common sense applied. It is expensive for a carrier to operate just like a...

I'm not sure what carrier that would be but I guess it would be a favor in disguise. Length of the load is secondary if regardless of the miles you are breaking even or losing money. For me personally, I won't move a truck at a loss unless it is for someone to go home or something like that...

Umm??? Not exactly how it works. Also, "chain of possession" means many things.

Freight does come out of Fort Wayne but I don't know your carrier. Take the whole mileage and times it by your rate and tell them you will run it for that. Doesn't seem to be picky. Only you know what it costs to move your vehicle. If it isn't profitable, no point in really bothering with it.

Should come as no surprise that the current administration is using the EPA to help their environmental buddies. Seems to dovetail right in with the IRS and NSA spying scandals. Never mind Benghazi. EPA acknowledges releasing personal details on farmers, senator slams agency | Fox News

Their resources are what? Calling the carriers they currently use. :rolleyes: US Marshall's office doesn't have the capability to move freight shipments directly. DOD and government shipments will likely use the same safe havens they always have.

I would say $400 to $500 is pretty common.

Most straights in expediting wouldn't be affected by this. The 26k and under I believe is the focus. Probably not a bad idea. Especially when looking at the rental industry.

Especially the "crybabies" the owner refers to. ;)

Don't know on vans but they will empty move a straight or tractor out of there if you have been there longer than 24 hours. If you decided against that, well there ya go.

I remember quite a few problems that were posted with them several years ago. Might want to try a EO search on them. Other than that, I didn't know they were still around. I think at one time they advertised here on EO, but that was some time ago.

I would be shocked if better than half the country even knows this stuff is going on. Last poll shows 48 percent supporting this administration. Just can't make this stuff up. Yeah, looking more like a Nixon era every day. Well....almost. Now we give a lot of stuff out for free so people are...

I certainly think there are drivers that live dollar to dollar. I am not disputing that. Undercapitalization is what causes the highest failure rate in expediting. And the owner may be tired of dealing with broke drivers. If some are sitting for extended periods of time, he probably hears it...

I agree with some of what you say until you get to the "anyone can sit for ten days". Ummm....no. Doesn't mean some don't, but you can't hang it all on the driver if the carrier is failing to produce.

Looks like a lot of "he said, she said". I don't know what is true and know little about this carrier. So....I will respond to only what is written. We have a owner and reference some of his drivers as "crybabies", and then acknowledges he had vans sitting for two weeks. OMG.:confused: Simply...

Wow.....I just like tidy!;)

Might be a few more to add to that list of "just hanging on carriers".

More often than not. That doesn't appear to be an issue with those that engage in that practice.

I could see a situation were one could get tripped up. Then the question becomes, what would be the frequency of that type of event? I really don't know.
