    You know I havnt really paid a lot of attention to how often they turn over bodies in the office, i sure their is some. Ya would think that if your career involved moving freight this would have been taught in 101 class on how to track it. Some of this would fall on the backs of our own carriers...

    That's where you come in and educate the shippers.. They ask why aren't you with XxX carrier and you tell em there is know way of telling how many times their freight was sold. After they agree, then pump em for how much they pay and watch their eyes roll in disgust after you tell em your cut. :D

    With today's technology and after the truck is loaded why are customers even calling for status of the freight? One click of the mouse should show them real time tracking.

    Never never in my time in a straight did I draw that much FSC on a single load. That's more then most of my paid miles anymore. I just found out last month my garbage man is doing better on FSC then me. And he only goes 900 feet from his last pickup. FSC is nearly the same as the monthly...

    So in a sense your saying the trucks are subsidizing the vans with FSC. (I am assuming your in a van) Like I said maybe the carriers should restructure how they pay FSC. Figure out the fleet average for vans and pay it accordingly. Based on van mileage and not total fleet mileage. I don't...

    April has sprung!

    Well once I heard the destination I ended the conversation and threw it back..Just don't feel comfortable that they would get me out of there. When I asked how they would get me out of there I got the feeling I would still be there next Monday night.. No thanks.. To far to drive home empty.

    I agree knight. I can't remember the last actual expedit load I have hauled. It usually the same old eye roll and question as to why it was shipped. (Like I have the answer to that) If I had to guess I would say the majority of what I have been picking up this year is something a LTL carrier...

    If I'm reading this right and I never met ya Murray but with statements like this and listening to some of your O/O is the reason I think you should expand off into some straights. You one of only a few guys here that when ya say you care it can be believed. No doubt you work for your people...

    If your referring to multiply loads.. I agree. I think its a good move. I could care less what they put on the truck, cookies,panties, or blu jeans,, Who cares. Instead we sit and wait on the auto plants/suppliers and mainly so they can stay in good grace/standings with them.. What we are...

    Not hard to imagine at all. If there was any other answers carriers/brokers would be defending themselves on all social media. 53 ft sitting here in Dayton along side me since Monday. Only difference is he all week he has been filling his trailer with partial loads to take back north. Each...

    Not with Fedx but can a Solo driver have another, say family member monitor this system while they are under a load and actually moving?

    And your smoking what? What ever increase in FSC you get with never off set what you, your wife, brother, sister mother or father pay at the pump. Fuel dropped but the price of your wife's grocery bill didn't. And when it fell the grocery bill didn't drop.
