Who is the unsatisfactory carrier you're with now?
Even the first initial might help.

i heard tst has way too many vans, and i talked to a few guys from there, they want to make a move elsewhere because of this problem, thats the same thing i am going through, you get these owners that hire everyone and there brother without all the work, whats the sense of this? why cant these guys keep their drivers busy and happy for pete sakes, greed kills us little guys!

Read the papers....TST does a lot of Automotive.
What is happening in Automotive?
Plants closing, plants going on short weeks, suppliers going bankrupt.
It ain't a pretty picture.
What are you going to haul when Automotive slows down?
Doesn't matter what company you work for.
We aren't the same as the Americans; they seem to have a broader variety of customers for expedite.
We are limited to Trans Border work.

Have you tried Dynamex?
What about PacEx from Hamilton?

As much as I promote Dynamex, they have went and put on about 20 new vans in the last 2 months. Not good for the existing drivers.I have yet to see any NEW customers to justify this increase.
DX does not do alot of automotive maybe 15%. More aerospace...

Maybe try to get a greencard and work in the U.S.?

I worked with Pacex for about 8 months at the start of my expediting career...very nice people, great rate of pay, but it's mostly one way..so you can cut that rate in half.
