[QUOTE="Hammer166, post: 12302150, member: 9823"]Either by having a contract direct with the manufacturer, or having a business relationship with one of those carriers. When I was a terminal manager, there were outside trucks I loaded with full loads all the time, but they were always someone I knew and had loaded before. Normally the only freight that ended up on Central were aging units going to outlier dealers that I didn't have anything to go with to make a load. And honestly, I detested putting any freight on the carriers I found on Central. Maybe 1 in 10 understood the procedures for new car freight, and of the other 9, 1 might actually care enough to listen and learn the proper way. I'd say maybe half were properly equipped with the over-the-wheel straps needed for new cars, and the damage ratios were ridiculously bad. All of the above is why you rarely see new freight loads online, it's just too much headache for the contractual carrier.[/QUOTE]
