Looking at the LEAM web site, I see temperature-control freight services are also advertised. I have never seen a LEAM reefer truck on the road. Are there some? How much temp-control and/or TVAL freight does LEAM handle?

Just a question for LEAM BCOs from a curious outsider; how much freight booked through LEAM is exclusive use freight (entire truck dedicated to the load)? Am I getting it right that at least some of the freight at LEAM is comingled freight (multiple shippers and multiple stops on the same run)?

RE: how to make inputs A 300% turnover rate? Even to a non-Panther expediter like me, that number seems high. We often read about over-the-road trucking companies that have turnover rates over 100%. But 300%? I have a hard time believing that. Under 100% seems more likely, and perhaps...

I feel your pain, Brother.

We too are very pleased with our A.R.I. sleeper quality and the before-sale and after-sale support they provide. These are small things, but they speak volumes about how they think of their customer's needs. When you go to A.R.I. for service, they provide overnight parking places with free...

Does it not bother you even a little bit that your parking brake knob is upside down? That's like fingernails on a blackboard to me.

Leo, Greg's words were, "Until you have experience with either being a fleet owner or running a business with employees,...." You and he are correct in that I have never been a fleet owner. It was the "running a business with employees" that I reacted to. It remains the case that Greg does...

In the worst of times and the best of times, some expediters fail and others succeed (whatever success means to them). Bad times are less forgiving that good times but some people still succeed where others do not. I would not advise you away from the business for the sole reason that the...

>I think alot of drivers or owners view this as a job and >expect apay check for being inservice That is a new one on me. It has never entered our minds to be paid for simply being in service (available and waiting for freight). Not to disbelieve your statement, but to find out more about it...

by Chip Heath and Dan Heath) I see it at FedEx Custom Critcial and in many businesses. The top executives have studied the industry and business in general for many years. They become experts and adopt expert language to communicate with their peers. Phrases like "value proposition," "six...

RE: U.S. Economy to?? Once again, Greg, you have worked our way down a thread to the point where I doubt that many people care much about what either one of us say. You lost my interest several times in your latest reply. You are going to complex detail and multiple subjects. Diane and I got...

Dave, The points you raise are what I was getting at. What I do not understand is what Greg means by "should."

That is a difficult question to answer because off duty or sleeper time in the log book can be spent in different ways: (1) in service waiting for an offer, (2) in service, dispatched on a load and waiting to pick it up (like dispatched on Friday for a Monday pickup), (3) out of service to rest...

Greg, When you say fuel surcharges "should" be at $0.35 a mile right now, what do you mean exactly? Do you expect carriers to provide free fuel? At 10 mpg, $0.35 per maile equates to $3.50, or the price of a full gallon of fuel. Not quite as much at 8 mpg but just how much money do you feel you...
