    More trucks than loads right now. Did you save a lot of money when it was going good for the last 18 months? Or form some steady business relationships?

    I hate the new loadlink website. Looks like it was built by a 9th grader. Loadlink if you read this your old website was far superior and straight forward AND IT WORKED!

    No, no, no... when the music is on and loud you get out there and dance, closing time always arrives, sooner or later...

    I am doing more of LTL combined shipments now. FTL rates are pathetic unless you have a regular.

    Loadboards rates from Montreal to Toronto are between 450 to 500. And they get pickes up within seconds.

    That's why you need about 3.50 per mile to go there (from Ontario)

    I don't know man. I don't know what your type of operation is. Where you're out of. What your goals are. I always found repeat business in the same lanes is the key. This running around pulling up the load board is a quick way to go from one cheap load to the next. So do the same lanes repeatedly and for the same customers and build on that.

    Work got slow for me, my customer lost their customer, other main customer underbid me by 50%. My new outbound will be some direct shippers around me. If I get on that board the offers will be bs so I'm not even going to play that game. I will find a new steady run. As soon as I feel like working again. Long weekend is right around the corner again, you know...;)
