[QUOTE="White Line, post: 1285816, member: 52233"] Oh yeah we have got that same speech also, the three service failure scenario, yep our former linehaul manager would mention stuff like that too, one example he used for service failures which was his favorite was overnight or preload trailers failing service, wether it was because of load abandonment (which I have yet to see), the driver pulling over and napping and over sleeping, or the contractors rig breaking down in the middle of the run and being down long enough to cause the trailers to be late and fail service, however like you we have a small circle of contractors that stick together and have each others backs and some dispatchers willing to work with us, it's just matter of a few phone calls and getting someone there to drop their cold trailers and pick up the hot ones and get going again, no harm no foul, same with covering runs for each other, and yeah snakes, I understand the (business men), I realize from the business stand point that having a heart shouldn't stand in the way an opportunity to grow a business even if it is because of someones misfortune it's nothing personal just business, but man I just can't do that, just doesn't seem right to me, that's cool of you and STFXG and your guys small "union" of fellow contractors to step up like that and help those guys out.
