    Saying "no" to cheap freight!!

    There was no FSC back then because fuel prices were relatively stable. FSCs were put into place because of the rapid fluctuation of the price of fuel. Instead of changing their published tariffs hourly, carriers implemented the fuel surcharge. FSCs allow carriers and O/Os to operate at par (a...

    I just got another load. It's only 175 miles but it picks up Monday morning 8 miles from where I deliver. It also gets me away from the Dayton/Columbus area which most likely will be saturated with vans going back into service after the holidays. 2016 is off to a good start.
