I'm starting to think this doesn't bode well for any of us with contracts w/Ford. If they think they can save a nickel, they'll be giving your contract to one of the brokers. Especially the way this appears to have been handled.

The only people applauding this are the guys who live off of the load boards. They’re hoping to get these units at overflow rates. They’ll be surprised to see what contracts rates really are.

There won’t be any $2.00 a mile freight on my rig or anything remotely close to that. The manufacturers that pay well now have no trouble getting their automobiles to the dealers in a timely/damage free manner. Talk to any dealer and they absolutely hate having their units delivered by “brokers” generally non English speaking wedges. The Ford freight I am aware of that is hauled non union in my part of the country is junk rates compared with the rates out of union yards and I deadhead right past it. They will get what they pay for if the bottom falls out of their rates and it definitely won’t be my rig or anyone with similar standards.

The loads I would take back in 2007, @Banker and @Hammer166 wouldn’t get out of bed for. the loads these new guys take today I won’t get out of bed for etc. It’s not a race to the bottom , it’s a race to see how far they can push the bottom down. -

I'm guessing their DEI program didn't net any positive results to their bottom line. Now they're unemployed.
