I ran into an example that the bidders are STILL bidding cargo van loads at sprinter load rates when quoting my opportunities!!!...We will never win a load board load like that!.....I thought they were instructed otherwise?.....

It's a good thing you "Don't need the money". How can you be at the right place at the right time when you are home? :cool:

What I mean....why don't the bidders ASK if they could bid on that specific load at CV rate?.....if indeed it is a CV load?....it is that old problem of sprinter guys not taking CV loads at CV prices again....?

AND I didn't say they "should" have been 2 good quarters either.....

Why are the words "cargo van rates" even being used to begin with?..especially when so many so called cargo van loads pay better than most companies sprinter loads. Only use the cargo van term with customers. For drivers just use the term load..no sense in complicating the simple..and confusing drivers more than they are....lol..drivers hear the word "cargo van" and they get all nervous and defensive right from the start.."I didn't buy a sprinter or a cargomax to haul cargo van freight" I have often heard this..What is the difference ???? As long as it is within a drivers and vehicle guidelines, and pays good, who cares what it is called? Way too often people get wrapped up in complicating the simple.

I agree completely. It also slows down customer service and our response time to customers. Carriers all have trucks and we don't want to win on price, so having the fastest most effective customer service in the business is the differentiator!
