I didn't say it was necessarily right, just the way it goes. If Swift would have run me like I wanted, I'd probably still be with them. The way I see it, I put the ball in their court and they didn't seem to be able to work things out. I was willing to work with them but they needed to understand I was not going to be run that way often, which is what they chose to do.
You know what we really need?

honey it all boils down to the terms of the contract, or what they're willing to do to keep the customer happy.
there could be a couple of reasons why. if your local ga/nc shipper has a hot one to the ne that his road outfit (swift/schneider/etc.) can't cover, it then gets called in to local guy.
or the sceanario might be that local shipper only has a couple loads a month going to the ne. that's not enough to warrant a contract with a swift/schneider, so what's he gonna do? turn a sale down because local trucking co. "doesn't want to go to the ne? now really.....how long do you think they'd be a house carrier?
and no, i'm not managment, just a dumb truck driver who worked at a small family owned outfit who keep her ears open.
