John, that is why the word Many is there.
I understand a lot of the customer base does care to a point but not all of them. Maybe you will agree that it all depends on what is being hauled and how many of us derive our work - Load-1 being excluded.
Many of us don't get true expedited freight, but more or less freight from a shipper who wants/needs it moved with it happening more often than not we get freight that has a self-imposed time limit by the carrier to move it regardless who the customer is as part of their overall brand strategy.
This goes back to a point that a lot of freight is handed off through brokers and even some generated by the companies represented here, not mentioning who. Some of it is captured as a normal part of doing business, and seem to be part of the problem and not a real solution for the company with the company cashing in on every or any step they can.
