    Drivers have been saying that for years now. Reality is they're expanding thier fleet. They don't save as much as you think using outside carriers.

    It's just not gonna happen. While the majority of Wally World trailers are being towed by Swift and CRE, the contents of them are basically worthless. WM has super strict hiring standards, and I am sure they save quite a bit of money on insurance premiums because of it. Not sure if the cost savings outweighs potential savings for using a subcontractor.... but as picky as they are, I doubt they trust anyone but their own drivers to lug their expensive freight around.

    One quick word about seals. If you have to break one, it is no biggie. Just note it on the paperwork. Note the old seal number, the seal number you replace it with, time and location and reason for change. No reason to get heartburn over it.
