ODFL | Are the Congdon's pulling out on managing the company?

That kind of stuff will happen in every service center in the company...no way every day is like that.

Also -- every S/C has a great OR (as does the company) because we have one of the smartest pricing minds in the industry as VP. An OR is simple... cost divided by revenue -- so as long as the freight is priced right it will operate well. Little hiccups like this, or delays on the road, and whether the dock runs 3 bills/hr or 4....these are all little drops in the bucket which don't add up to much impact. OD manages yield like no other...we know what it costs to haul each account specifically. Other carriers do not...at least not to the extent that OD does. We need to keep giving that premier service...let the folks at corporate worry about the OR...and innovate in the terminals to remove excess waste and unnecessary work. That's how we will continue to improve.
You freight gurus do realize that numbers can be manipulated right? Vp level only sees what TM allow them to. Oh yes, even at OD

Your TM doesn't have as much power as you think he does.

Yet another driver who thinks he knows how the business works. Stick to hooking trailers.

So blind, if they can be manipulated at the local level it's happening in NC behind your office walls.
 
Most contracts have provisions for storage, detention, etc. OD will get paid.

Labor would be tracked and built into pricing as well. Those folks at CPT are on it.
icon sucks no matter how much it pays....long driveways and pain in the butt customers that want you to set it up and demonstrate how to use it. I want to tell them the most exercise they will get from that machine is carrying it in the house.

It does suck...I've done several. Returns are even worse...never packaged nicely.

You were joking about setting up right..
