[QUOTE="White Line, post: 1324159, member: 52233"] Reliability as in which one has the most steady work and longevity? This business is based off pickups plain and simple, while there are other factors such as rates, how good the sales reps are and yada yada yada, we don't have much of a business without pickups, I am a linehaul contractor but if my counterparts on the P&D side have a bad day in pickups, that means less volume back to the terminal which means less outbound trailers loaded which means linehaul runs cut, contrary to what some of my fellow linehaul contractors think, that linehaul feeds the system, it is the P&D side that makes this machine rock and roll, and without their heavy pick up volume everything and everyone else is affected by it, from package handlers getting shorter hours that night on the sort, less trailers being loaded which causes runs to be cut from linehaul runs, to less delivery volume the following day for the P&D guys at the facility getting the less trailers, it's a vicious cycle and the reliability is only as good as the overall freight volume, no one department is spared from light volume it affects all of us.
