    From what I've been told they went to each coordinater and asked for 7 truck numbers. Idk, I wasn't here then, I was an outside brokerage carrier but was at the yard quite often dropping off bols and invoices. And when people talked, I listened.

    while the deal in 2008 and 09 was bad, I don't think we are anywhere near that point. I don't go for gloom and doom to that extent. it has always ebbed and flowed. odd thing is , I am having the best year this year out of 5 at mercer, and 3 out of 4 Januarys here , January has been my highest revenue month. this year I changed up things a bit, and in January , don't know it just to fall into place. one thing is I work the heck out of 10 day weather forecast to avoid big shutdowns , must be working

    I didn't mean to imply it was random. I'm under the impression a LOT of the decision was put in the coordinators hands. The guys that aren't dependable, hard to work with, generally difficult to get along with. That sort of thing.
