This article is my personal opinion, based upon my experiences with Mercedes Benz Sprinter vans. Please understand that these vehicles are used in a commercial trucking application with annual average mileages exceeding 100,000 miles, and that I am not an automotive or diesel expert. The...

I think I can speak for all of us that, we all sleep better when OVM is headed home. LOL!! Just kidding pal! ;)

With only a 289 DH on the other end. :)!!!!!

When I was on the road I clipped our phone on our steering wheel kinda like that. For about 3 minutes. Until I realized what would probably happen with an airbag deployment. Aaaaayyyyyeereeee!!!!

Sometimes way too busy to EO.

Very.

I think the bigger correction could happen soon. Brokers like L1, Bolt & others are "putting their foot down" and flipping their requirements to match what you're describing, cutting off carriers. If enough of the brokered freight is controlled by brokers doing this, the carriers with the...

Therein lies the problem. If you're not running primarily customer freight, and busy, there's a lot more trucks than required to run the overflow freight. 17,288 trucks available on Sylectus. That's way up over last year and prior years. ANYONE can get on Sylectus, virtually.

Louisville to KC. We lost bid to an 85 cpm bid. Who needs to get to KC so bad they will go 85 cpm total rate? Nuts!!! And by a broker that we generally respect. But as long as there are Johns, there will be streetwalkers. And vice-versa, of course.

Ya, we figured he would be too. It's probably going to end up being one of those Danville loads again. They usually crank out about 4 of them on Friday nights. Hopefully OVM got his 3 naps in today. :)

I like that load too. About 2-3 times a week, LOL!!

I completely forgot to credit Bill & Carolee (NorthernBill) for their great work on the load that made this broker so happy. The broker was so nervous about the timeframe they were starting to freak me out too. Bill & Carolee can confirm that. Thank you Chapmans!!! Or as we call them in...

Yes. Anderson. :)

Never, ever, ever, ever gets old hearing this! Thank you guys!! "We want to thank the team at Crossroads Express in OH for a superb job on a recent direct team shipment. They exemplify the best in professionalism and commitment. Like many Alliance member-providers, working with such...

And Sally just bid on one to Beantown.

Bid in to Cheese & Beer Town.

LOL!! Tim Horton's has a new cup size..... Small. Medium. Large. Load.

He's been WAY too busy for phone time!!! Has Ken EVER been booked on 3 loads in one day?!?!

Actually about a dozen bids between the two of you. Chicago was sold way cheap today. Again.

Mike's first out. But OVM has a 2" height advantage. But yes, Chicago was brutal today. Lost out on plenty of bids. "No, as a matter of fact, we will not be matching your 87 CPM (total rate) bid. Thanks anyway."
