The elected side does not appoint the bureaucrats, they are hired to do the work of the government and that's part of the problem. If they were appointed, their job would have a finite time line and have to reappointed to it.

So do you call child protective services to have this investigated or do nothing?

Sue, the best we can do is to tie up the president through our congress. The house, where a lot of finance things start at represents us, the people while the senate was supposed to represent the states but doesn't (17th amendment screwed that up). When a president commits a crime or something...

Can't tell you what they were but I can tell you that we paid FedEx CC to move a five pound box from Ann Arbor to Parsippany NJ for $4 a mile. Depending on who you are it seems. For me I went from an average $1.10 a mile to $2 a mile just by changing companies and then from there I managed my...

Fried? Well I think you need to understand that they make their main money off of packages and parcels - not freight. So if the idea that the package services need to be competitive and run a specific way, they apply that idea to the other parts of the company.

As I was told I didn't know how government worked and called a tard, I would like to remind people our government is made up of two halves, one is our elected officials and the other is the bureaucracies that runs the government. The former is in our control if we want it to be but we can't...

NO not a lose/lose, it is what you make of it. For a few who want to add to the fray, it is simply that they need not to be mods while others are setting the bar a bit too high and stifling some comments by pointing out the rules and expecting people to care. IT is like off topic tangents - who...

Well decide the issue up based on what type of company, Leo is talking about a package company not a freight company hence he is getting broadcasts not being dispatched. While others seem to be dealing with companies who don't know what quality dispatching is - load-1 may be an exception but...

What? You thinking that this is 1875 and they are using carrier pigeons to move the paper around from station to station to know where a package is? Since the late '70s, rail has used technology to be a bit more efficient than trucking, we have finally caught up with them in the last 10...

I heard this the other day twice and ask it here, why doesn't anyone ask perry how come he took federal money to offset his budget loses while preaching now that he can help the country?

OVM, You know it seems two around here are too quick to react while others around here are equally to blame for their involvement - mods that is ... just saying.

I don't have to, everyone is doing for me. Read the responses ...

I think as manufacturers are getting smarter, they are returning back to using services that are reliable. Rail has been used in the manufacturing world just until 40 or so years ago and it can be a very good coordinated means of transport with the JIT system in mind.

Well common sense "dispatching" would imply that there is dispatching going on but what many seem to experience with one company is broadcasting.

WE are still a long way off from that ...

God you guy have to get a grip - it is a joke.

Has anyone ever thought that FedEx is not a freight company?

I wonder why you guys don't remove the hyperlink?

The jackets and other apparel are not company property, they charge you a price which includes their profit on every piece of clothing. You can not return them.

"I agree" means little in how the performance of the contractor can happen. TOO many what ifs. How do you enforce it? You know when you mention X miles, or X loads, you are making them an employee? I tell you what OVM, take a few months off and put someone in your van and see what it is like...
