A freight broker blog: May 2008
http://truckisontheway.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
A freight broker blog. The blog of an experienced freight broker working in South Carolina. Friday, May 9, 2008. The changes I have seen are:. 1)The days of a truck dead-heading a hundred miles to pick up a load or more are over. Dead-head is now limited to 50 miles or less, because it costs around $.75-$1.00 per mile in fuel for every mile the truck travels. 3)Service issues are more common. Having less trucks equates to more problems. And possible changes I see for the future are:. 4)The green movement...

A freight broker blog. The blog of an experienced freight broker working in South Carolina. Friday, January 18, 2008. Mergers, Acquisitions and Their Effect on the Transportation Industry. World, there are only a few less than truckload carriers with true national scope, as some were eaten by UPS and FedEx. We are now left with regional LTL. Over numerous years can easily become memories unless I stay in contact with those people or they find other positions where I can work with them. And yes, it ca...

A freight broker blog. The blog of an experienced freight broker working in South Carolina. Wednesday, September 9, 2009. 09/09/09.time for a quick update on our wonderful industry. As a particpant in the industry I would like to make a general observation. As things have evolved post deregulation I have heard some people say it was the best thing to ever happen in the transportation industry and I have heard others say it was the worse thing. I must agree with both of these statements. The postives that...

A freight broker blog: March 2008
http://truckisontheway.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
A freight broker blog. The blog of an experienced freight broker working in South Carolina. Wednesday, March 12, 2008. The Tide is Beginning to Turn. All of the information I can gather doesn't tell me that our freight recession is over. The information only tells me that we are seeing a correction in our market place with supply and demand coming closer to each other. Factor in the beginning of produce season and we could see more freight than trucks in certain areas of the U.S. soon. Links to this post.

A freight broker blog: February 2008
http://truckisontheway.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
A freight broker blog. The blog of an experienced freight broker working in South Carolina. Friday, February 29, 2008. February 29th-a rare day. With it being the last day of the month and leap year at that, I thought I would write a quick blurb about the week and what I have noticed. Trucks are beginning to demand more money to haul the same loads than they have in the past six months. Is this because of the higher fuel prices or is it because it is the last week of the month? Links to this post. Trucki...

A freight broker blog: Update
http://truckisontheway.blogspot.com/2008/04/update.html
A freight broker blog. The blog of an experienced freight broker working in South Carolina. Friday, April 11, 2008. It has been a while since I have posted due to many reasons and factors, but I won't waste time by elaborating. I predict the next 6-12 months will be difficult for carriers, brokers, shippers, 3PLs, 4PLs and everyone involved in the transportation industry as the correction gains momentum. Carriers will continue to face daily challenges by trying to balance revenue and rising costs. Broker...

A freight broker blog. The blog of an experienced freight broker working in South Carolina. Monday, November 24, 2008. Giving Thanks for every Load. I apologize for the long hiatus, but I have returned just in time for Thanksgiving and I wish everyone out there a happy turkey day. Survival of the fittest still applies as companies tighten their belts and keep a close watch on debtors and creditors. I suspect bankruptcies will continue to thin the ranks of U.S. Corporations and I remain hopefu...Http:/ bl...

A freight broker blog: Old files
http://truckisontheway.blogspot.com/2008/12/old-files.html
A freight broker blog. The blog of an experienced freight broker working in South Carolina. Monday, December 1, 2008. As I was perusing through the bottom drawer of my file cabinet I stumbled across quite a few files of customers I called on in the past that are no longer in business and I couldn't help but wonder which companies might be next. It was officially announced. And so it is with economic cycles.we go up, we go down. We go up and then down. How low will it go? How long will the downturn last?
