    As others have mentioned, SO What if your company don't advertise on this site. Way too much credence given to that requirement to be an expediter. But, given the remarks made to McClain on anuther thread Jazbo may not consider you or your company expediters either because of not advertising...

    Looking for a change

    More n likely won't help yer delema much. I can see this scenario happening; An Agent talks you into a load that goes too far an you run it. Then, the big Landstar in the sky, spanks you later. But, good luck.

    Surcharge for Union Shops?

    Hey pj, there is that employee attitude rearing it's head again. Waiting for someone to tell you what to do. In the example you gave, being THE Carrier, YOU write the contract. YOU don't allow yourself to be spoon fed. YOU cover your bases. YOU!!!!

    Harder to find Drivers because of our company.

    Ahh Bruno, I feel you have it wrong here. It's harder to find drivers, because of the drivers. Not, a company problem, just a driver problem. Guess yer finding out just exactly what seniority and loyalty pays these days, eh? Did I read you are managing a fleet for an owner whom works...

    Who's Responsible

    It's not ALL just black and white. I'll agree tho 75% is a bit much, say maybe thirty cent or so. If you are that anal bout those things now, jes stick around. Worse *****'in is yet to come.

Bout like the time I was tagged for a rear ender, when a fella put his car in reverse at a toll both and backed into me.
