Has nothing to do with any of that nonsense. Generally speaking people who find the most success in any given business are in that business because they truly enjoy the work. You don't build a successful business with a dour attitude and by stepping on little people. I remember an article...

So many rude brokers out here. And idiotic ones also that frankly don't know their ass from a hole in the ground. None of them are in this business for the right reason and it sure shines through when you converse with one of them.

They're getting fewer and farther between.

Who will be able to afford air conditioning when we're all reduced to $5 a day wages?

When there's 10 trucks for every load brokers don't have to answer the phone and they certainly aren't going to accept higher bids. I remember well the times in years past when my phone would blow up non-stop from 06:30 to 17:00 then a few expedite people looking for trucks after hours. I...

I doubt this. Seems more like a calculated business decision on their part that most contractors would just roll over and take these flat rates without complaint. A no-brainer simple way to improve profits. Because that's how most trucking contractors get paid anyway. And the small...

It's just like EOBR, speed limiters and every other sort of regulation the big carriers want to foist on everyone. They always get what they want. I said it on another forum and it's worth repeating here even though it's slightly off topic. Anyone that thinks EOBR was dreamt up by mega...

I don't think the pain has been going on long enough to wipe out much of anyone. IRP renewal differs from state to state depending on when a person first started it. I do mine every September. What will wipe out a lot of the weaker players is a prolonged spike in fuel prices. Let's say...

Yellow and blue make green driver :-)

Well at least it's not green ice. You know for some drivers the fuel island is as good as anywhere to take a xxxx. Lol

The one and only. Seems that way but really just here and there. 8-)

It's been a long year. A difficult year. But I always keep in mind somewhere, somebody is dealing with something way worse than I could ever imagine. I'm thankful to be hanging in there and looking forward to better days that are surely just on the horizon. Thankful for every opportunity...

That's ok. I do so little true expediting any more it's hardly worth claiming to be an expediter anyways. Lol. Would be interesting to see the results of how many EOL members here are with OOIDA. I see the stickers on smaller units from time to time but not often. Don't always see them on...

Can't view results because I can't vote as a TT but have been a member since 2003. There should be a category for senior members 10+ years.

Approximately how wide are your ceiling scuffs on the right, left & center? I always slide my tandems to the rear and have the anti-dock walk device on the rear axle but still had a hole knocked in the roof. Scuff protection would have prevented it. How long do you keep your plate trailers...

I'm wondering how most of the expedite companies Load One, Panther, XPO, etc typically spec their 53' dry van trailers for mostly automotive freight. I thought what I had were good specs - sheet & post trailer with logistics posts on 16" centers, plastic lined walls, & aluminium roof -...

Somebody didn't make sure their tandem pins were locked.

Look at all the trash a lot of these filthy, nasty cretins out here toss from the cabs of their trucks anywhere they please with garbage cans in walking distance. Saw a YouTube video the other day of some lazy jerk off tossing his trash outside the truck onto the ground. Of course someone has...

They sure did tank the rates everywhere with Nissan when they took it all over.

Looks like just another broker.
