Welcome to June, 2014

What is going on with these horrendous brokers? We had 2 That lured and said we has the load only to never hear back after the carrier packet was filled out. They wouldn't even answer the phone or return an email. I just put in a spot bid on a military load which was won but the broker relisted it and found someone else to do it a little cheaper. Just a complete lack of service and integrity in that industry.

I guess it's a good thing the sensors stopped your misspelling.

I run very little automotive freight, I'm sure I'll be doing my usual short runs.

Hard to tell with automotive anymore....in the old day most all shutdown...now its all over the map....some completely shut, while other revert to 1 shift and some use all 3 shifts but slow the line down a bit depending on sales and inventory.....
The thing with a shutdown....the suppliers have a chance to catch up if they were behind....and you think its slow now?.....wait till August first 2 weeks of September! Baby you ain't seen nothing yet!....Hopefully a few 1,000 vanners will go belly up in that time....we need to thin the herd badly!!!
