Earlier this week while traveling across Iowa on I-80 headed to Indiana I came upon a large, lighted message board bearing this most informative message: I-80 CLOSED IN ILLINOIS USE ALTERNATE ROUTE. This sign was located west of Davenport. There was another one with identical information...

The broker is trying to get the load out for as cheap as possible. In most cases the customer is also looking for the lowest price that's why 3PLs are so popular with shippers. One call, low price.

Everything posted on this site is history before the last period.

The broker was fishing. The customer probably was charged at least $3000.

I wouldn't take that load but somebody did. You were the one that introduced the piggy back scenario. I just pointed out that being a team was requested in the offer there probably would not be enough time to mess a round with multiple pick ups and deliveries.

What's in the glass?

I have had two increases. My first raise was when Con-Way increased their rates in 2000 or 2001. Being on a percentage, my per mile rate increased. My second raise was a 1½ percent longevity raise after 5 years. My first pay cut was a 22 percent drop going from a percentage to a flat rate...

I hadn't realized that young people were so obedient and would follow ridiculous orders. They should be in the military not fast food.
