It's never wrong if they are a broker. If they can move the load, it's money in their pocket. By the way, if they are a good vendor to NLM, NLM doesn't care, as long as they get the loads covered. So help me understand: Are you a leasee with Bolt, or another carrier?

BTW, I believe there are greater foes to the rates than lowball expedite carriers. Truckload brokers are currently offering "exclusive use" loads that would fit on a straight, to shippers for the same they pay for truckload. Buck forty? Then the broker finds a carrier to run it for 1-1.05 per...

Dave is right. In a perfect world, all rates would be high. However, if there are five loads coming out of Laredo a day, and 25 trucks waiting for a loads in Laredo, someone is going to be cutting someone's throat, so as not to move north completely empty. Who wants to stay in Laredo for a...

832992 on this Cat C-10 in a 2000 FLD112 straight truck. Running strong.

Can anyone tell me the status on the standoff between Flying J and Comdata? Are they still not accepting Comdata at the pump? I pretty much stopped going to Flying J when I started using Comdata.

If you have the Big Brother bubble on your roof, you might check in and see if Big Brother really sees you for where you really are.

Monday, the 27th, I will be in Manassas, VA.

Ice, I run a small carrier. I'll send you my number if you want to call me this weekend.

I'm not a Nations Express fan by any means, but it is funny how a company is determined to suck, merely because the market won't support them any longer. Ask around. It's not just nations that is paying Sprinters that rate. It's not just Nations that has trucks sitting around either...

IAC stands for Indirect Air Carrier. An example would be a freight forwarder, that didn't get in on the whole "known shipper" thing, back in the day. He would not need to be an IAC. The TSA would recognize him as an agent of an IAC. Talk to your IAC customers. They will sponsor you, and...

There is a user called "soyask", but my search showed no posts by them. Look them up just as a user and send them a private message.

15-25 percent? Oh please. The norm is 3-5%, if you must. I keep an account with one for the sundry LTL loads from brokers I don't know or normally don't deal with. The better factoring companies offer incentives that offset the cost of factoring, ie. funds dumped to fuel cards that offer...

I would cater to the Blackberry over the I-Phone.

I do a lot of business thru my Blackberry. Frees me up from just being anchored to the laptop on the road, or at home for that matter.

Re: Help Not dot or MC numbers Hey CS, Throw me a name. If they are a carrier as well, the brokerage is sometimes incorporated separately, and uses a different MC. All State is one example I can think of that may not be immediately found. So is Tri-State.

TVP? Textured Vegetable Protein? (main ingredient found in most canned dog food)

Ya know, I have a laptop with me to watch movies. It seems lately though, if I'm not sleeping, I'm runnin'. So I just wait till I get home.

Now see, today I learned something new. Maybe Orlando will start having something similar. I really could use a plasma TV in my living room. Thanks for the tip, Moot.

Is that anything like National "Coming Out" Day? I think Disney has some festivities, as does the cities of San Francisco, West Hollywood, and Key West.
