    I have heard from informed people some interesting and unfortunate things going on at gigg transport. I don't want to go into exact detail at the moment but have any of you all heard any interesting and unfortunate goings-on at gigg?

    Not particularly about gigg but back in the fall during a discussion about Hyndman I was told there was another sizable Ontario Carrier on the ropes. No name was given but we speculated on who it might be and giggity was one of the top contenders.

    I heard it was Titanium. But at the same time, rumours are rumours.

    I've herd rumours from reliable sources that charger has been going around Ontario under cutting everyone by half.

    Yep, same thing People Express does out west here, also Lightspeed is doing it pretty cheap, and offering team service for less than most companies charge for single.

    I'm back to pulling reefer, so seeing a lot of this going on. I got a raise over LTL Van, so i'm happy.

    Just in Laredo, haven’t seen another Canadian truck since Dallas; Except Charger and Lightspeed. Charger has Lightspeed out numbered 10-1. Counted 34 Charger trucks between Austin and Laredo yesterday, currently 10 of them sitting at the Flying J. I walked the entire TA last night at 9pm, and I’m the only Canadian Truck. Charger is definitely doing it cheap, not a single Bison, TransX, ERB, Prince or CPX/Versacold Truck in sight.
