    Got to keep the customer happy. If they want their freight to be lonely and pay accordingly..... that’s what they are going to get.

    That would negate the agreement and commitment to a dedicated Truck to the assigned load. Which sooner or later would create problems. Don't try to reinvent the wheel. carrier didn't get in that position by being dumb. Customer wants to do business with a ultra dependable carrier who flat-out gets the job done. No ifs, ands, buts or maybe's. That's what they get. They understand that there's no shortcuts to total quality.

    Winner!
    And EVERYONE gets a ‘happy ending.

    Does anyone remember the difference between a lot lizard and a high end call girl?

    One smells like week old socks, empty tuna cans, and failure... Meanwhile the other one provides a service that goes beyond a quick stroke and a trip to the Dr for high octane antibiotics?

    Thumbs up fellas...

    I don’t know my ### from my elbow when it comes to the business side of this industry. But what you’re all saying most definitely makes sense :)

    You can have it. If I never pull another coil again in my life it’ll be too soon. Enjoy the gravy instead of sitting in a drywall factory for 4 hours waiting to load for Melton.
