I read all this stuff last night. Some comments surprised me, others didn't. I heard about Don Barker moving his fleet. I imagine that was a tough decision, but he had to do what was best for him. I wish him all the best.

I thought about what to say that would cover everything, but there isn't a catchall response. It's slow, it sucks, adapt as best you can. In my opinion, moving to another carrier isn't the answer. John says he's got this. Works for me.

Wait...there is a catchall response. I'll draw on the infinite wisdom passed on to me by a seven year old Labrador Retriever. "Let me in so I can go back out." :cool:

That's your catch all response, " I GOT THIS " !!!!!!!

Said as my cats are looking out the window wondering my Pops went! And as far as my "plan" goes.. I just hope within the next few years we can pay down all the bills so Ken can enjoy his retirement too. So here's the deal John...you keep him busy now and I'll keep him busy later...*LOL*

I guess I might be holding my mouth the wrong way but the hot soapy part of the wash in wash bay is not working cold rinse is but anyone wanting to wash your truck in yard do not try to get hot water as it will not spray but rinse cycle is working fine ..

After a nice first week back, which ended with a load that delivered 5 miles from the house, I've already got a load picking up 45 miles from home that picks up tomorrow night going back to Detroit.

As for all the chatter about rates and sitting, that's the way this business works. If John starts getting too flexible with the rates, Load One will be no better then __________ (fill in the blank). I worked for a "regional" expediter in the past, they NEVER lowered their rates. Not even when we bid on loads. Their entire customer base paid what they were billed without questions, strictly on the customer service that the company provided.

I'm a big believer in customer service. If we all take care of the customer, they'll take care of us.
