The multi carrier model usually isn't labeled as unethical despite the fact there are tons of stories about companies not paying, but it is labeled as a poor business plan.
Exactly what I was saying. No, I am still at 34,000 feet but thanks for the positive thoughts! LOL

I said the barriers to entry are very easy. I didn't say the work was easy.

Tomtom, most of the issues I have seen around this have come from small carriers looking for a foot hold. I never have to worry when I am working with an exclusive carrier when booking van freight that they are under insured. But we better know the carrier real well before we trust that they are not committing fraud with insurance levels. I don't want them to be certificate holders but additional insured.
Any carrier that understands the risks (and surprisingly there are many that don't) of allowing someone to be under insured and commits fraud in the process will not be in business for long. While I can believe that some recruiter may have been trying to meet numbers for a month I would be very surprised to see this happen at higher levels of any major companies. But I see marketing material from small companies promoting this practice.
Maybe this is something we should have Sylectus address?

It would be in Sylectus's best interest if they would....review each member thoriughly and then expel anyone who is not up to par...
Same could be said for the load boards....to closely exam everyone's papers...
Or the internet provider can be sued for transmitting the data..or the mouse manufacturer for clicking thr accept buttom. Or maybe sue Stu for designing sylectus..or qualcomm cause they bought them..or sue load1 for being apart of the alliance even though it was another company's truck..or goodyear for the tires the truck had on..heck sue the goverment for building the road.

I've witnessed the truck,trailer,and fifth wheel manufacturer all sued along with the carrier.
If Selectus' main business is to line up freight at low price,and this includes using under-insured carriers. I would think they may have some liability.
The courts would likely figure that out.
I knew a shyster lawyer. They follow the money. The under-insured carrier will not have the money.

and you can't get blood out of A stone either....sue all you want...
but then again you can get a million for a hot coffee....

It would be akin to suing Microsoft because the Unabomber typed out his manifesto on Word.
I think what your missing is that sylectus is a software tool, and nothing more. At least that's what I'm seeing?
