The Problem Main Problem with the trucking industry

Why? Because I have read the research on the additional data and over 90% that use that outside of LTL segment use it as a Wish List. If someone has a list of trucks with no data that would be the first calls, then ones that are posting for their dream load.

Also, as I mentioned, most brokers aren't calling from the load board system but have that information pulled into a TMS so that they can cross reference it with approved carriers and load history. To have someone who makes money booking loads clicking through a couple screens to see if you have specific wants is the time waster.

Now, if most used it the way you are describing what would change quickly is you would see the brokers having the software redesigned so that information was front and center. And they would be pushing the load boards to have more selection fields so that you can make tighter searches.

When capacity is tight, the phone doesn't ring for the broker. They have to make something happen.

 

There is a lot of reasons. Example we run reefer hazmat. When we post it we post VR hazmat. Means anyhazmat. Or RZ. What some brokers see is Reefer. Some see dry van. I have a lane to Florida. It's a $3,000 partial. Sometimes they have coils, looking for a flat bed and they pay really good money. We can load it in the reefer believe it or not. Just have to secure the load the right way. That allows us for that lane to go for $4500. Even tho that broker is looking for a flatbed we call to see what it is and can it go on a reefer if we secure the right way. So far it's been working great, and the shipper is surprised that every time we deliver it there is never any issues. Sometimes we get phone calls to add other dry crap to it like dry food, but since it's hazmat we can't take it since we don't want to mix the products.

 

That's an easy one! The obvious answer is .... Grape jelly. OK, give me another one.

 

Before you get to high and mighty, check your spelling. Your intellectual prowess is suffocating. Must open a window and get some air. How about stepping down off the cross, that wood has already been used for a far greater purpose. Your opinion of your supposed intelligence, doesn't mean squat to us dumb truckers. Now crawl back under the rock from which you came. Don't spew your pissy, mad at the world, because of YOUR inadequacies, rhetoric here. Was that too harsh? Good!

 

Not too harsh at all. It's "rhetoric."

 

Well your English isn't the best. Maybe they have trouble understanding you?

 

Oops. Spell check didn't save me on that one.lol

 

Actually, it's spelled "oops."

Sorry, I had to.
