    No freight!!!

    Plain and simple, folks; higher taxes = more outsourcing. Just ask Bill Clinton. Tell you the truth, it scares me that Obama will most likely win this election for that reason, among many others. Nothing good will come about in this industry if he is elected.

    Going Belly Up, This Goose is about Cooked

    my theory on all this slowdown in the expediting w

    RE: my theory on all this slowdown in the expediti Thats true, however, in my opinion, it's not the root cause. We were hurting before GM and D/C were in negotiations with UAW.

    my theory on all this slowdown in the expediting w

    It's simple. Many of the carriers have overhired!! Less people are leaving than those who are joining. In three years of doing this, I have never seen it this bad. Recession schmession, there's simply too many of us out here. x(

    WHY DO EXPEDITORS LIE !!!!!!!!!!

    Liars slither in all trades and vocations. Expediting is no different. These are people who truly have a huge void in their life, so they feel it is necessary to bore you with all these fairy tales of theirs. I usually just let em babble 'bout it for a bit then politely part ways with them...

    Very Peaceful in Jessup, MD

    It's early Monday morning here at the TA in Jessup. Hopefully will be called soon for a load but meanwhile I am enjoying the peace and quiet I don't think I have witnessed here ever before. I guess it's due largely in part to the relatively new 'controlled parking' they have here. Whatever it...

    Ice storm - Oklahoma and surrounding areas

    I've had problems getting back east out of California, in the past. I hope that this time is different. I won't waste too much time worrying about it this time, I'll get a backhaul or two if i have to.

    Ice storm - Oklahoma and surrounding areas

    Thanks for the heads up. Lana and I are heading for Cali tomorrow, out of Virginia. We are taking a more southerly route than you guys took, which routes us through OKC, Amarillo, etc. (I40), I know thats where the lion's share of trouble has been thus far. Too good a load to say no, though.

    Ice storm - Oklahoma and surrounding areas

    Hoping all my fellow expediters are steering clear of the perils of winter. I see on the weather map, that nasty stormfront is making its way east. 21 dead so far from this storm!! Be careful out there!
