    Just Wanted to Say Hi All

    The reason why I prefer a "C"trk is that C loads are the most requested by shippers.D drivers tell me they haul about 75% C loads.You would then think The C would be hauling a lot of B freight. Not so, We only haul 10% B. WHY HAUL AROUND ALL OF THAT EXTRA TRK?

    Tim Hortons

    It is sad to see the quality at timmys slowly slipping away.No doubt this is due to the Bean Counters at WENDYS being in charge.Dave is turning over in his grave.They are not serving his memory well by serving cold burgers and watered down chili. My bet is that as time goes by timmys will meet a...

    Is Expediting in vans becoming becoming extinct?

    RE: Expediting vans becoming extinct? B units will allways be an important part of this business.One of the problems is that it is very much easier to purchase a van than a "c"or"d".Financing and downpayments are much easier,therefore recurters are able to have a glut of "b"units at any point...
