Yep. And it's usually cheaper than anywhere else around. A few of their locations have big truck islands, as well.

good morning yourself sir you did not pop up to where i was John i collected Enough pennies to buy you and me a coffee each....yes day 3 in nj John and my new address is nj
Thinning the herd?....that is a good thing....BUT it seems there are more then ever multi carriers, unmarked bandits everywhere....even doing our loads WE sold to them....go figure...support the enemy...BUT I digress...I suppose it all comes down to the $$$$$$$'s like in any business....
They are our LAST resort trust me to cover a customer. Goes back to enough units in enough places and minimizing brokerage whenever possible. The other problem is more and more carriers claim to be exclusive to us, but are actually running the multi carrier model. It is very frustrating as we have no way to verify this. We do not deal with a high majority of these carriers and many are flat out mad at us for our choice. For us it is about protecting the customer and our fleet, not the money in brokering.

i agree with you scott i want to go anywhere other than NJ i knew it before coming here yep the virus will grab you & once it got you in it hands it will not let you out of nyc & nj dispatch i am sure of it is trying but 3 days into it wow ..
I realize many things can happen to a load....it was a 4 sprinter order and I was the only one around from Load 1.... The rest was brokered.
Hopefully there are never 4 units where those loads come up from..... There is no need to recruit to cover everywhere all the time, as you said balance.
I agree. It is all about balance. Now 4 units may be a big number in some cities but not a big number in other cities. You always have to quantify those things. Availability and coverage levels are a requirement of many larger national non automotive accounts. So like anything it really comes down to average rev per unit, and maintaining a low average turn time. Those are the key kpi's in my opinion, not the number of units.
