    Most, that have been in the business for a while, know better than to place an extremely important, have to be there obligation in the "hands" of a program like that. I'd use it, and figgure if it worked, fine. If not, that's OK too. I certainly wouldn't hang my hat on it to be successful...

    In reality Dave, your advice was sound. "Trust but verify". I've had drivers lie to me, dispatchers lie to me, shippers lie to me, recievers lie to me, and about everyone else in this business as well, in my couple years doing this. Problem is, they don't see their actions as bold faced lies...

    Aw Shucks. I figgured we were on to something here. Guess we'll have to go back to reading the whining, and, (hopefully) some touchy-feely consoleing by Dave, for non-issue type subjects. Like, the get me home (right now) macro not working to someones satisfaction. I only know of one place...

    Yes you were harsh, Dave. You certainly need to be more touchy-feely when you type. Handing out doses of reality like that will certainly get you the wrath. Eventually, they will realize that in the world of business, that no one is going to hold their hand, be bubbly and flowery when...

    How strong is expedited freight this year?

    Actually, the larger Carriers DON'T have more, or, less access to the freight in this country. Jes depends if you want to make (and keep) the promises required to get in bed with some of them. Appears a lot of the frustration I read on here is caused by the promises made, that causes others to...

    Home Time Didn't Work - DH 2200 miles UT to NC

    I'd just say i hope your need to be home, was, in fact a real need to be home, if you are that upset about the events. In this business you should maybe take some mini's, or stay home. Being that far from where you need to be is not a good thing. Mostly I feel "need" to be home, translates to...

    ups expedite

    I'm sure UPS could care less about your color coordination preferences. When you type "we" will rebel, must mean you are the spokeswoman for the expediter wives?? Or, did you mean "I"???

    Is 65/35 good pay for expediting

    Depends. 65% of what?? 65% of nuthin is nuthin. We have had folks stand fast at demanding 60% of gross. We pay 50% of gross. My teachers musta been math challenged, because the way i've been learned is, 50% of two bucks, is, some better than 60% of a buck and a half. Could'a used some of...

    cabover expeditor?

    What you are asking Ark, is a normal occurance for us. Decking allows us 60 foot of cargo space, and the quad axle allows a 66K Gross and a net of 40K if we need it. Not too small a load, eh?

    Business

    We don't do ANY nlm, and very, very little automotive, so those segments being stagnant are not a bother to us. Our growth in 07 over 1st quarter 06 has been about 12%. Hope it continues!
