    On my thread "Can someone help me make sense of this video about LP at US Xpress", a truckers report forum member told me "Dedicated account is usually not as good as a dedicated run." I don't know the difference between a dedicated account and a dedicated run.

    What is the difference between a dedicated account and a dedicated run?

    A dedicated account would be like Dollar General or something. You may go to a different DG every day, but you only deliver to DG. A dedicated run would be the exact same trip every time.

    So all dedicated runs are dedicated accounts, but not all dedicated accounts are dedicated runs.

    Not necessarily ... Relays can be dedicated runs, but whatever freight happens to be going in this direction ... No specific account.

    A perfect example: you only get lot lizards at a Pilot, thats a dedicated account. If you only get services from a particular one at the Pilot, that's a dedicated run.

    i would see it as guaranteed minimum pay really. if them lot lizards are at the pilot only. they its guaranteed not dedicated. dedicated is like she knew i was coming that night. so she made sure she was dedicated to guaranteed her work.

    No no no, she's like the distribution center. She receives lots of loads every night from various accounts.

    I'm not sure which would be worse, a yard dog shuttling my load or a lumper emptying it out for her
