Can a hot line be set up????
John I'm hungry.
I always wonder if when your at one of those conventions sitting around with other ceo's if they ever mess with you about this stuff.
Sent from my Fisher Price - ABC 123
John being the owner.....makes or creates CEO's....image the butt kissing at a convention....LOL
I'd love to be more productive & profitable, and am hoping to find more focus on freight outside the automotive area. Waiting at the shipper who won't have the freight ready "for another hour", and my ability to have a good attitude is wearing thin.
Some customers need to be reminded that the drivers' hours are limited, regulated, and monitored by federal law, because they don't seem to have any incentive whatsoever to refrain from wasting those hours, and automotive suppliers are the worst of the bunch. The more likely they are to waste time, the less likely they are to accept the responsibility and pay for it, too.
A corporate culture of responsibility starts at the top - Load One has that culture, and I hope we can focus more on those customers that practice the same responsibility that they require from us.
And I hope I get out of 'midwest heLL' soon, cause I seriously need to do laundry, lol.

MAYBE the Alliance...should get on these load boards like NLM to reduce that 2 hour window they have to get loaded and unloaded....basically you guys on logs are giving them 4 hours of your time....FREE
Great concept except..... companies will never all get together. Always someone willing to come in and do the work. You all know how that goes, uggghhhh.
But as we keep adding reps in outside territories I think it will continue to diversify the freight mix. I have a ton of faith in our new VP of Sales. He has only been onboard for 2 weeks, but I really like what I see already.
And yes, I do get comments from the other owners, CEO's etc. Nicely I think many of them think I am insane.

Jimmy Johns should have been there 3 min ago????
You know they're just jealous, lol.
HEY you are on paid time now....make sure the customer pays up!!.sometims we are our worse enemy by not following up when we do have a chance to get paid....I hear excuses like..it is only 15 minutes, too much bother to chase down....well...suck it buttercup in that case
I know John....In theory, an elephant can hang off a 10 story building by his trunk too....
Must be a border delay due to cutbacks that started today.
Well, happy to report that I am starting another chapter on Monday.. well, just turning the page on this one LOL.. I get my new van number on Monday morn. I've been running this Sprinter "My Way" for a few months, but the contract has still been in the previous owner's name as I made him payments plus a small percentage. My honey and I are heading up Sunday night to hand over the last 3 payments in person, (ahead of schedule)and after a little paperwork Monday morn, new van number
I came over here to Load 1 a year and 2 weeks ago..just about broke, and ready to give up on expediting. Thanks to Steve Wolfe talking me into trying this company, even with the slow times... a year later, I've got a few bucks in my pocket, and as of Monday, a paid off van.
That says something about this place I think
Thanks to all who listened to my dumb questions about Sprinters, and gave me good advice about how to run here!
