Random LTL Rants (all are welcomed)

And to all you Old Dominion guys way to finally beat out XPO logistics, there's a company that has fallen way way way from grace. From their glory days as CCX to the Conway era to their buy out a couple years ago it's been a down ward slope for those guys.

 

As for all you Dayton Freight people hammer down, your getting beat out by Forward Air and Central Transport. Central Transport is #13 and you guys at Dayton are #16 I know your better then Central Transport (probably have better clientele too.) I know you all can beat Central Transport, they can't beat you, Uncle Matty (I think he's still alive) he's got his deep pockets and all that good toll money he collects with his ambassador bridge he's owned one of the goofiest LTL trucking outfits ever, nobody even knows how the company makes it.

 

As for Truck Load Swift, Schneider, JB Hunt and Landstar are the top 4. Prime is 5 and Werner is 6. Werner is farther down there then I thought.

 

Yeah that’s how the system did it. Both me and the supervisor looked at it and said nah it needs corrosive 8 with the UN number, but I guess that was wrong since it’s not in a bulk container. Funny thing is, I found some placards with the 2794 already on it. So either someone previously hauled totes of battery acid or they made the same mistake as me.

The 5.2 also threw me off because it’s in table 1 and 2, and I was reading the table 1 requirements as “type B, OR liquid or solid.” I said well yeah it’s a liquid so table 1... But as @MACK E-6 said that one was fine to put 5.2 or dangerous since there was no other hazmat.

 

Central Transport is much bigger than Dayton, so in that perspective they’re doing pretty good.

 

I tell you guys what though, that stupid Celadon, they're not going under, but they had -11% growth from 2017-2018, I knew they hit a rocky patch, out of the major truck load carriers they posted the largest sales decline, there far from the bottom there close to the upper top, but I know they hit a rocky road and had a time of it.

 

Both. Shuttle Sunday-monday, deliver Tuesday night, shuttle wed-thurs.

 

I know at are Pepsi in Twinsberg, Ohio bulk truck is like a senior guy bid. @Dumdriver was doing good doing bulk routes some time ago for Pepsi.

 

Are Coke has some kind of shuttle too, Coca Cola Cleveland was always independent from Coca Cola Company where Coke Twinsberg and Coke in Willoughby, Ohio were/are owned by Coca Cola Company. I see Coke from Willoughby shuttling doubles somewhere, I don't know if it's to a drop lot or to Coke Cleveland and there swapping product. I know one plant might do cans and another plant does bottles and another plant may do water, tea or juice. Pepsi has a bunch of 53' trailers running around doing inter-department truck load stuff.
