    Large Carrier vs. Small Carrier: Thoughts?

    There you go Jeff. Nationwide in three Nations. Really, really, kinda funny what so many just don't want to understand. With the contacts available in regard to shippers, brokers, other trucking companys, manufacturers, private individuals, etc., there is absolutely no reason to sit OR run...

    There ya go there Sky. Control your costs of doing business and you'll control the world of business. It is pretty difficult for many to understand, I guess. Ya got folks throwing stones at you that are splitting the pie too much so....they need too much, makes no difference if they are too...

    Less Than a Buck to laredo

    That was my single largest beef with fedup. Many loads i picked up on Monday were booked Thursday or Friday, and instead of dispatching me so I could relax a bit over the weekend, they held it (and me hanging) until about 60 minutes before pickup. Actually it wasn't just over the weekend, it...

    Would you use a Expedite Broker

    I'd suggest if you'd only call once if the results were not satisfactory, you really are not looking for freight very intensively. What exactly do you do when you call fedup and they have no freight for you??

    Best ST box size??

    Just think what a cabover with a 30 footer behind it and 18 skid spots on the floor, quad axle(tandem plus a steer air tag) capable of legally [carrying] 34,000lbs would do for your bottom line. You could be 20th in line and get out first "IF" your dispatch crew were any good at all. If tho...
