No. I need to start again. Especially before the rest of my hair falls out.

Well what's the name of your company? Any name we know about?

Was ops manager at Rush (Dayton) for 9+ years. Wife and I started Crossroads Express. I've run lots of your loads. And NOT for 75 CPM, of course.

I thought it was you Murray...

Cool. I was reading about Rush how they became a 400 million dollar a year carrier in 10 years or something like that.

Murraycroexp · Jun 5, 2013

Yeah, I'm not one for hiding or misleading. That's for sure!!!! I'd post my head shot if everyone wouldn't laugh and run off the road!!!

LOL!! $400M?!?!?! No. Steve wishes, I'm sure. I won't discuss Rush's financials but that number is on the "ridiculous" scale.

Must be another Rush out of Canada or something like that. Got the two confused.

There are two companies that I can think of, one is a husband and wife team from TX, one is a single driver from IL that are one truck outfits. If there was a breakdown I have full confidence they could make a few calls and recover with no issue. I agree, 95% of the time it does not work out very well.

They could be injured or any number of things that could make that difficult.

Sent from my Fisher Price ABC-123.

Even that one is only like $115 million a year in revenue.

True

But I am for giving everyone a chance. Sometimes the smaller carriers have more to prove and work very hard to provide service being they understand they have limitations.

Murraycroexp · Jun 5, 2013

Yep, just "not awarded" another for 110 CPM. Cest la vie, or whatever those guys say.

Murraycroexp · Jun 5, 2013

Yes. More to prove to customers, brokers, 3PLs, other carriers, banks, creditors, etc. We're not in a contest. Period. But I'm proud of our performance on every single load, as I imagine just about all carriers and drivers are almost all the time.

I wish everyone had that philosophy

I don't know how, or if I can, edit my personal info but I need to add a little in there.

I got my introduction to this industry driving a van with Rush when Murray was there. Ran ragged hauling boxes all over Cincinnati, Dayton, and Columbus.
