    I meant to post this in December but I never got around to it. I know many on this board use broker freight and that is fine if that is how your business is set up. Right now is the absolute best time to go out and solicit and gain new customers. Things are still a little slow from the holidays and all major decision makers are back at work and if a change in carrier is going to made the time to do it is now so everything is in place by the second quarter. I have gained some of my best customers at this time and also lost quite a few. Just a thought for the day.

    Agree 100%. Even companies that don't have typical holiday increases have learned that they don't get the level of responses in December as they do in January. Around here, mentioning anything other than UPS in December was grounds for dismissal. ;)
