[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 5607546, member: 58386"] IC is simply a trendy term used to describe motor freight stolen off the LTL's You know, that so called "TEAM LIFT" stuff. Trucking companies open and close terminals all the time. In the neighboring town YRC moved out of the dump it was in into an even dumpier place but it did give them a bit more room to park trailers. Not long afterward Central Freight moved out of the cinder block shanty it was in and moved into Yellow's shed. Keep in mind too the contractor is not actually the one paying the slab in the cab. All they're really doing is taking Prime Weasel's wage offer and passing it through to his drivers. Remember Prime purchases trucking and the labor to run the trucks from the contractor. Therefore, he'll only pay just so much for the truck and the labor. It's then up to the contractor to find somebody willing to take what Prime Weasel is willing to pay . If he's lucky enough to find somebody willing to take the deal AND actually give a flying facial fornication about the job and performs accordingly....fine. But, when that loaded trailer sits in the lot for the biggest part of the week because nobody came to hook onto it or it's noon and that P&D van still sits in the slot because there's nobody to get in and drive away....well, those are contractor problems....While Prime Weasel remains shielded from the feces storm while Jim Cramer worships the ground he walks on. He's simply jettisoning modestly compensated Express people and replacing them with poverty level Ground grunts and doing it in a way that looks like he has nothing to do with it and it will be all good with the American public....for awhile.
