Sure glad you started September off with a bang! Good Morning Gang!
Woke this morning to a BOOKED text. Off to CT from TN.
Middletown, PA to Fort Worth, TX. Three Mile Island ,0700 pick, I've heard of this place.

I think '79 was a bad year for that area. I flew into Harrisburg one time and they circled TMI before landing. I literally said, "That's not Three Mile Island, is it?!?!" On the plane.
Turns out I was moving to LIVE 30 miles from TMI!!!

Everyone hold a good thought for Steve 1008.
I don't think he gets on EO.
HE's headed to Vegas!!! Plenty of time to get there, and for a great broker. Glad he's got a buddy out there!!
"Out west" can be a real challenge.
At least it's only 1@430#!!
VEGAS BABY!!!!

Consignee didn't open until 06:00. But, delivery complete. Made it home now, coffee, breakfast and then time to get to work around the house. Have an enjoyable holiday weekend everyone.
Murray...I think some people misunderstand the Crossroads mission with their O/O's.....I keep hearing that we run cheap! When in fact that is wrong...We run at competitive rates for the market situation.
We O/O's FREELY chose at what rate we need to be profitable and in what ever situations come up....The choice is ours and NOT set in company policy....if you chose .90 -$1.00 Crossroads will work with you with the understanding that the higher you want your rates, the more you'll likely to sit....HOWEVER I don't think IMO and Murray can correct me if I've overstated here.....Murray will not take on anyone he thinks that will hurt the overall business like wanting to run at UShip rates....they can go elsewhere its their choice...again its a business model that we along with Crossroads can work with for mutual success..

Did a load last night that some company fell off of. Right place right time? 4 other vans in same lot, must be doing something right. Thanks everyone for doing a good job! ( Forth Worth to Topeka KS )

Sorry. Haven't been on EO ALL day.
Correct, kind of. If someone WANTS to run for bottom feeder rates we are not for you. Bottom feeder rates WILL, WILL, WILL get you 3000+ miles a week. Hell, that would be too easy!! But then what do you have.
In the grand scheme, I think we're usually in the middle.
If there are 3 tiers, we're definitely in the middle.
Look, everyone wants a 500 miles load at 07:00 EST every morning. Right!!!
Reality? Not so clean.
Correcto mondo!!!
Have a great weekend!
