How do the stay in business?!?

And in other news, a broker told a lie.

Is it really that surprising that trend exists with carriers too?

 

I love to hear about the big guys boning up like this. It tends to clarify lots of things for me, like the load of bottled water I hauled last week for $5/loaded mile. I know there were hundreds of trucks empty near my pickup point, and I'm pretty sure it didn't have to be refrigerated either (put me within 200lb of gross since I have a reefer).

Keep up the stellar job, fellas. You're making our money for us.

 

Too bad a quality, service minded o/o cannot drive more than one truck at a time! Otherwise he would be the most well respected, busy, loved, rich guy in the business. Your company is only as strong as your weakest link...sad that there's so many rusted out, newbie links out there flooding the market

 

Told you a long time ago, booze helps. Remember, the driver is the "captain" of their ship. If they want to take a 10 hour break as soon as loaded then you just have to live with it. You'll learn to sweat the late afternoon PU's. The mysterious moving truck is always nice. It's 25 miles away then 250 miles away and then 100 miles past the delivery. They can't remember which lie to tell which broker.

After all these years last Friday we had our first "GPS" accident. Ten miles after loading(not on a truck route)they hit a 12' bridge. Of course they arrived late and were behind the eight ball to start.

 

People like that give us all a bad name. Shame you couldn't refuse the load on the driver that was 20 hours late. But you get what you pay for. Cheep freight equals cheep service

 

Been in this a very long time and have yet to see this mythical correlation between rate and service. Like saying only poor people do bad things and rich people don't.

 

I believe it was a relay, that I was supposed to get?
Do you enjoy my attitude after such communication issues? ))
