Alternative to Central Dispatch??

1D was not bought out by CD. RAT was bought out by Cox Auto a couple years ago. Cox Auto also owns Manheim Auto Auction. Last June I think it was Cox Auto purchased CD for several billion dollars. So RAT was not bought out by CD.... Rat bought CD in a sense. Cox Auto has their hands in everything, RAT used to be one of the higher paying brokers out there. Now they pay carriers pennies on the dollar. Really kind of sad. There has been a few load boards that POP up occasionally but none seem to last very long. CD is good for back haul and what not. Tell your friends to get to work but.... I hold little hope at this point.

 

Let me know if you find out who killed Kennedy too.

 

Cd was a small part of dealer track that Manheim/cox purchased. It wasn't billions for cd. I understand it was somewheres in the 40 million dollar range.
There are a few that have tried to make load boards for the car haulers but it's mostly the marketing that I understand is the difficult part. A lot of transport companies do little to no advertising so locating them is a challenge itself. That's why boards like this will help once something worth while is created. There is little networking in this industry. Network Network Network and when something new comes out spread the word. That will help more than anything in my opinion.

 

It was 4 billion that they paid for dealertrack which is CD

Cd was a very small part of dealer track

 

Well they didn't break it up into pieces they bought the whole shebang for 4B so in turn they paid 4 B for CD and all that goes with dealertrack which I am sure has stuff included that I am not aware of. DT is a big business.

 

Yes it is huge. It deals with a tremendous amount of different things primarily with the new car industry and financial stuff.

 

*mind blown*
Yes i also got a customer who was very upset they just randomly shutdown 1d without warning.
I mean, i get youre gonna shut it down and become "ready logistics" and be all ####y about it when people call for any reason whatsoever. But at least warn your past customers youre gonna shut down and redirect them to CD since it's already yours. I wonder how many dealers they lost that just pulled up past transporters and decided to go the private route.
