Third and fourth quarters are generally the best for all modes of freight. July was kind of disappointing for me. Now if I can just get this root canal/crown work done finally, I can get back to freight running. At least my new rig spent the week getting a 4000 lb lift shoved on the back, so...

Wouldn't say that CC Surface is dying at all. All expedite is facing a possible economic starvation. You just have to continue to make yourself relevant to survive. ICs who have a list of "I don't do this, I won't go here" will continue to choke themselves out of existence. Same with...

Fedex Freight are contractors just as Fedex CC are. He may have been running a smaller linehaul for the LTL division. Basically, it's just whatever truck the owner brings to the table.

So whatcha doin' now, Kim?

I could have them mixed up w/ someone else, but I believe Highway Star is runnin' with them these days.

Yeah India. Go with what Redytrk said. You should have little trouble disputing it with the credit card company.

What's wrong with St. Louis? I think the biggest thing you will face is making sure that, while in St. Louis, they are actualy appearing on the St. Louis board and not somewhere off down the road.

Hey KEEKEE, No recruiter or dispatcher is a fortuneteller. They cannot pull loads out of their rear ends to dispatch to you. July didn't meet my expectations either. You sure won't make any money by jumping around. No carrier has the magic potion to make you a success. That's your job...

I concur on that one.

Check w/ C & M, or Bolt or All State. I could be wrong, but I think any of those would run your wheels off. Oh and get a trailer w/ a lift gate.

I got my card from OOIDA. If you don't have it already, just call them and ask that they send it to you. It is part of your yearly membership. I've used it a couple of times now. No problems with reservations. They shouldn't give you a problem, if they accepted my own one truck carrier name...

Well Dave, for not posting very often, you definitely have kept a close eye on the events at hand. Spot on, I say. Hope you'll post more.

Well let's just say that I've crawled into the sack with someone that I expect to handle ALL of MY needs!;)

Just know this: July is generally one of the slowest months of the year.

Generally, the bigger companies will have more regulations to follow. It's kind of like the family that has eight kids vs the family with a single child. There are more rules to keep chaos at bay. Expedite companies sell based on standard vehicle sizes. Fortunately I believe there are indeed...

I think what Moot is saying is that Cat does a whole lot of shipping, some of which is heavy haul, expedite, LTL, truckload, and all sorts of specialized stuff. Very diversified carriers involved.

Sorry bud. CC isn't a member of the Alliance, nor will they ever be.

Cute bit...:p

So maybe some Fedexers can tell me: Didn't TQL take possession of your lovely Ryder/LG account?

Let me just say, that if you ARE with a small carrier and all they can do is get you outboard work from a Metro area and then they just want you to deadhead back to that SAME metro area, they are just lazy about loading you. They are also the minority out there. There are LOTS of opportunities...
