sorry to say, but i think you are wrong. some other group will bring it to their attention.

all i can say on the subject is, why work harder for the same money. thats like runnin 3000 mi. @ .75 or the same money @.90 for 2500. if you let them take advantage of you they will. as far as regulating vans/sprinters, you wait, its coming. the ever safety loving citizens groups will see to it.

dont get me wrong, sylectus is a good system and does alot of different things. i wish it the best and hope this makes a difference.

ya john, that was just me kinda pokin fun. i am very well versed in what all the sylectus system can do. i have had first hand experience with it at two expedite companies that i worked for. i guess we kinda feel the same way about it. a good idea that could have been more. i kinda like the...

seems if i were the new owner and i had a company like qualcom, i would mandate that all carriers that use my load posting site all have qualcoms. its a no brainer. that is just a plain way to insure the sale of more units. guaranteed revenue unless it allgoes south for some other form of...

well, anyone traveling in my home area { effingham, il } be careful. we are expecting up to an inch of ice this evening and tomorrow followed by up to a foot and in some areas 18" of snow tuesday night into wednesday. we dropped sat, close to home so we came on in to the house. if we dont...

our prayers go out to jeffs family and we will sadly miss our friend and fellow expediter.

pretty much get the same info here without having to make the call and without the recruiter giving you the golden child to talk to.

i just did a rough survey of 7 expedite carriers small, med, large and 5 outta the 7 had an alert showing. most for unsafe driving. one big carrier seemed to have a problem with speeding. smaller ones logs med, ones a little of both.

moose, no mystery, what are you getting at. latest csa carrier score as of 12/17/10 shows an alert and possible intervention in unsafe driving 83.3 %

ok, so we now understand that there are several things that can happen in the normal flux of things that will impact rates. with supply & demand being one of the deciding factors. supply & demand being related to our economic conditions. we also can negotiate our contracts and load offers before...

just imagine that, not only will you wife be able to !!!!!!!! but feed you also. all 100% natural. could be the next great food trend or delicacy if you will. personally i see nothing wrong with it. no more gross than some of the other stuff they add to food.

in this situation on our garmin, the cr, fm, us, hwy or any abbreviations are not needed. in the address given we would have just put in the road # and as the rest of you stated they come up. with the exception that i dont have to choose list they are just automatically populated.

greg, you stated we had the ability to bargain the loads after we sign the contract and how much latitude we give the carrier is up to us. would you explain that a little more in depth ? you also mentioned that brokers and 3pl's supply access to most not all of the freight. i believe that...

this is outta the norm for MOST van/sprinters but if an accident happens, and god forbid it does, this is what will change the way vans/sprinters are looked at. if something should happen and an investigation occurs they will be able to find out what they need and see whats been going on. at...

highway, you are exactly rite. thats what they would call it. but more so the point was to get some responses as to if it did happen what would the effects be. purely hypothetical. would more educate as to why it wouldnt happen by the affect if it did.

i didnt say they were not relavent but not as relavent. this is my opinion only. the one is, i dont think the market is as saturated with trucks as some others do. as i stated before, i am not saying these are my beliefs just simply questions and scenarios i am asking and putting forth trying to...

just dont do it, either one

these have all brought up some very interesting thoughts. i wish there was an easy way to fix this problem. i do believe that most of the responses have alot to do with why rates are in the tank. some i dont think are as prevalent as others. it would be nice to see the masterful powers that...

i second what moot said. totaling amazing talent for that. for those that never had the opportunity to speak or meet jeff, he is one of those people you wish you could have. jeff is a well respected writer and just one of the easiest people to like you would ever meet.
