    If it's a one skidder, he might be able to couple that with another like it and make out decent.

    own authority

    Charles, You say good things. But if it weren't for us, who would they have to blame? Bakomk, What kind of vehicle and license you are running will determine the drug and alcohol thing. Unless you're running T/T, I doubt OOIDA will be able to helo you with the load thing. The glamor...

    Landstar?

    You mean all of those LTL loads on their broker site? That's like measuring apples and peanuts. Not even similar. Only every now and then do I ever see an expedite posted on their site, FOR THE WHOLE COUNTRY. If an agent wants an expedite from a partner like my own company, they call me. It...

    Lake Agassiz Re-Visited

    Being a "go to" guy is what usually gets the job done. Wish there were more around. "Go to" guys tend to stay busy and not lose their contracts when things slow down.......:p Excellent point made.

    Is Bankrupt in future for A SC company

    Sounds like time to make a road trip to NC and knock on somebody's door. If it's who I'm sure it is, then PM me and I'll tell you what I did to collect.

    Landstar?

    Yeah, that's it. That's the company that handles a few of my receivables for me, will extend me $300,000 in load credit for them, while they will extend me $100,000 for Panther and only $7,000 for Express-1, should I ask them to.

    where is the freight

    Traditionally, that might have been so. Right now though, it's a different problem. If you don't run the load, the load will still go that cheap, but to a different carrier. Or they just pause when you tell them the usual tariff, and they tell you they really don't need it all that bad and...

    Is Bankrupt in future for A SC company

    Hey Bearcat: "Socialism:You have two cows. Give one to your neighbor"....the neighbor who already let the 2 cows he had die, by not taking care of them. If you don't give him a cow, the current administration will tax you to death for being more successful than that neighbor. :):D

    Goodbye CLC card

    My experience has been that some of the simple travel lodges offer as good or better a discount with a commercial license, once you figure in the 4.95 handling charge. I hear some of the "extended stay" type accommodations have good overnight rates with CLC, or at least they used to. I've...

    Hey Turtle. Good to know about Alabama. I know that you used to have to cross with any vehicle engaged in commercial use.

    Nations Express - Shaking Ground?

    1. Go see them in Charlotte. 2. Ask to see Danny McPherson or, 1 Call Accounts Payable 2. Ask to speak to their Controller 3. Let them know you'd hate to have to file against their bond. I did a combo of the two and had a check in days. For now, if they ain't payin', I ain't haulin'.

    Nations Express - Shaking Ground?

    No offense taken. These things can be rather sticky sometimes. I'm always glad to offer info that might help someone resolve an issue with their carrier, or in this case, a beoker. However, as some of these things get into specifics, I'm really not comfortable discussing them in a public...

    Independent Carrier vs Company Contractor

    Hawk, You probably already know what I'm going to say. I still think you're only a couple more good contacts away from seeing the results you want. Yeah, I know it's been slower. My March was the slowest I've seen it since last summer. We're still hopeful for this month though. Knock on...

    Nations Express - Shaking Ground?

    Frankly I would recommend you contact Nations yourself and just concern yourself with rectifying the situation for yourself. That's really my perspective. As far as rallying support, the Alliance is well aware of the situation and just recently did ban a another brokerage from posting. You...

    Stuck in Miami

    Right now you have to think very nontraditional. Most folks are too scared to leave the "safe zone" of the midwest, and therefore are sitting. Not so many trucks in FL right now. Just remember that it is a holiday weekend. Very possible to get a inbond freight rescue out of MIA or FLL that...
