    The sad passing of Bob Kittel

    It is with a heavy heart that I pass only the news that Bob Kittel passed away last night. Bob was most recently our recruiter at Load One, but he had also worked for other expediters such as Thompson Emergency and TST over the years. Bob suffered a brain aneurysm during driver orientation...

    Celadon....Tom Glazier still down there or did he retire? I worked with him for about 6 months at FTI back in the day. He got out quick, smart guy.

    February 2010 Location

    Headed down to Jacksonville Florida area for the GPSNet Expedite Alliance Conference this weekend. Load One is the Platinum Sponsor again this year. Should be a good time with the other carriers. Sure do wish the weather was going to be better.

    If you are a recruiter...

    This is in part true. We were planning on adding a second recruiter, but the medical issue with our current recruiter has forced us to accelerate the timing. It is a particularly sad situation. If any of you knew Bob Kittle our recruiter he was a great guy. Bob suffered a medical...

    Dumb Question

    The grass always looks greener on the other side. That scenario is a "best case" look at it. If the customers are paying 45-60 days which is more and more common, you may need almost twice that much in reserve. If you only have a one week hold back like we do, that will increase the cash...

    Dumb Question

    So true, and that is slow and sure death. Even if a great carrier could operate at a 5-8% net margin, you can not afford to give a factoring company 50% or more of your net profit. Everyday we get so many faxes from factoring companies that are now "handling" carriers receivables. I just...

    Dumb Question

    Good question. If you anticipate that a truck runs for a week and then turns in his paperwork. Then it is billed and sent out 2 days later and give 3 days for the post office. Assuming this the customer has a bill in his hand 2 weeks after the truck ran his loads. Lets assume the customer...

    Bolt!

    Carriers often times will float or delay payments to other carriers to help with cash flow or when they do not have adequate credit. Being paid timely as an owner operator is not always a guaranteed sign of a companies financial health, but it is still a good indicator. Do your homework and...
