I personally have only worked one day in the past two weeks. I work for a carrier that only does automotive. I am in the Detroit area.

I think it has affected everyone not only american axel , but last I heard about 30 GM plants plus all the little supply plants, and then you have all the Trucks that usually run that freight looking for work . And the suppliers getting all caught up on the non affected plants It has to hurt Expedite..

Ken,

Just about the time you were writing the above I was at the MickeyD's up the street from the Detroiter fielding a call from Dispatch - they wanted to know if I could take one from Woodhaven to San Jose, CA. :eek:

Of course, I told 'em "Sure" :p

I really wanted to post that you were a day late and a dollar short ..... but alas ..... we didn't get it. :D

Yeah .... it woulda .... no big whoop. I try to only sweat the ones I get - not the ones I don't. :D

It would have been a really great comeback to your "we're going in service tomorrow" though ya gotta admit ....

I was gonna tell ya "Yeah .... please take some of 'em .... I need a break." ;)
