Two small companies. I don't qualify for the majors because I can't get a medical card, on account of my bad eye. I could run for Murray, except you have to have money in the bank to start out with him, and I've never seen $5k in one place in my life [emoji14]

Did a CSX run, MD to NY. Won't see the money for it until Thursday. Ramen noodles on the menu again [emoji19] Pilot, Castleton on Hudson, NY

I always wanted to start the monthly thread, and I think I just got the chance [emoji16] Chillin' as best I can, TA Green Castle PA

Tell me about it. Left Bham last night after filling up for $1.86. Headed home to PA where $2.39 is a nice price [emoji58]

IDK if you'd get away with it, Broke. Ottawa is pretty close to the border; these guys are banking on information traveling much more slowly from Kiev/Moscow/wherever [emoji60]

Most countries, the USA included, allow foreigners to drive on their back-home licenses for 6-12 months. If the license isn't in English, those folks doing so in the US must carry a translation document, such as the International Driver's Permit. That's just another way our friends in the cubes...

Nope. Did the run. Now we have to be back in PA at 1000 Friday morning. Looks like we might hafta DH[emoji35]

In December 2015, I went onto the Obamacare marketplace to choose a plan for 2016. It put us on Medicaid, and here we are. I don't like to talk about it, but I'm not ashamed. We paid into the system for 30+ years, and if things improve and we go off it again, we'll find a way to deal with it...

Taken 27 June. Yup, welcome to upstate New York [emoji57]

Grandchild time is pay enough [emoji8]

NY to Bama. Details tomorrow [emoji16]

Back to Buffalo. Avoiding the Thruway, using NY 5. In Irving, you're on Seneca Tribal land. Gas is approximately $1.87-$1.90/gallon, due to the lack of NYS taxes. Pretty amazing, imho [emoji41]

One extra hand is okay; that's real life in operation. Two or three extra hands, some of whom aren't doing anything except clicking mice and getting paid for it, is where I see the problem.

So in this case, GM calls AA, and AA either delivers the load or bids it out, correct? If they bid it out and XYZ wins, then XYZ delivers (or is supposed to, anyway)? That's completely fair. Using our own industry, it is also fair for Load One to sell a load to someone like Murray, because CRE...

IMHO there should be only one level between shipper and transporting carrier, and that entity should be a carrier as well. Obviously, a given carrier has to service its customers, whether or not it has a unit in the area. They need to be able to sell the load so that it gets done. I object...

Explain the difference between this, and double brokering. I don't think this is fair.

In an as-perfect-as-possible world, a company would only have to sell a load once (ie, shipper to, say FedEx to KLM to me). Unless I'm wrong, some loads go through one or two additional brokers between the Fed and KLM*. That would be a major place for dollars to leak out of the pipeline. *in...

I'd like to know how many times some loads get sold before they end up on someone's truck. Everyone sells loads, of course, but the number of fingers in the pie makes a difference.

Got some sleep, then Buffalo to Charleroi, PA. Now at the J near New Stanton. Beeyootiful morning[emoji4]

I know him from Express Family. No complaints here. He's a salesman, to be sure, but he has never done me wrong.
