Picking my own freight baby! My journey to & of being on Schneider choice, the Adventure & Numbers!

Think of capacity in terms of available hours per truck, instead of just numbers of truck.

Just reducing the skimming that naturally occurs on paper will reduce capacity by that amount, with no reduction in the number of trucks.

 

The Megas don’t pull cheap freight. They just offer cheap to theire lease ops and keep the remainder.

 

This is my new popcorn novel.
Thanks.

 

Another good cheap week for me.

 

Why in the world would they put the good paying spot freight on outside carriers and make less money by putting the cheaper contact freight on their own trucks? That makes zero sense.

 

on time delivery?

 

It's not their spot freight ... It's freight they're contracturally obligated to carry. No trucks to carry it, so it gets put on the spot market and they eat it.

It's cheaper than losing the contract and or paying failure to perform penalties.

It one of the reasons spot freight is so hot. All the large carriers are spilling frieght on the spot market to keep thier contract customers happy.

Couple that with a some of the large carriers aren't running spot freight at all. Swift completely shut down their broker facing customer department.
