Why is the New QC lock out in the Feds only forum?

We have the new units being installed as well...it is not Fed specific...

I can't answer for the poster of the other thread but I can say for myself that I don't keep up with anything that other companies are doing and if I did, I couldn't presume to know what they're procedures with new QC options would be.

Sheesh, Ken....why don't ya just start another thread in the E1 forum.

It may not be Fed specific,but I'll bet that you won't be getting the secret decoder ring that we got with our units.

Well has it worked out for you FedEx people?

Between the Physiological damaging dispatch system, the EOBRs and now the secret decoder ring, you all should be taking all the freight away from all of us.

Ken,

Are you basing a "floundering Elite team" on the fact there was a replacement, or that they hired some folks from the Fed?
One thing for sure, if they want any hope of entering that DOD/TVAL market, they better start bumping their rates a lot higher. If they discount those specialty rates proportional to their dry vans, their ability to recruit will be pretty low.
Their only way doing that would be like others and claim they do it, but actually broker those loads to the ones that actually do.

Gotcha. Can't say personally whether they are or aren't but their revenue out of that division has increased every year.
I thought maybe there was something there that I wasn't aware of.
