    Properly Securing Your Freight: A Matter of Life or Death

    Reminds me of a expediter I met on a dock one time. (Not our company).He explained this was his second truck.

    AIRBNB

    Anyone using AIRBNB? When I was active in Expediting, I think it would have been very useful. I looked a a possibility of a cheap place to flop. I chose Charlotte NC to see what might be available for a Van/strt. Lots of choices. I especially liked the "Comfy Couch" for $25 ($32 w/tax)

    Tracking any Custom Critical Run

    I was tracking a load one time that was picked up by another driver. The plan was to cross dock the load and I would take it on to the consignee. I watched as he approached and went on by. (Digitally of course). I called dispatch to find out what was going on. After a while, they said the driver...

    WG Glove Changes

    It looks to me like WG is reacting to recruiting pressures. When the applicant list grows short and or disappears, something must be done. Why would the list go down? MONEY! If one cannot earn enough to cover today's cost, people are less attracted.
