A new bid was posted at Denver Terminal on 9/12/13. The 10:00 SLT run was canceled. Is any other terminal experiencing this same loss of work?
 
We lost an Atl to Clt back to Gvl run in Gvl. It pulled Dls freight down. They decided to run our Dls freight on pt instead of our own trailers.
 
I thought the company was trying to reduce or limit the amount of pt? Something not quite right here...
 
We have CRST in yard everyday to pull one PDX And one SEA along with an unknown number or benefit trucks. They pull our sets out to LVS, RNO, SEA PDX we also have Baldwin, Jb hunt Schneider and couple of other smaller company's waiting on trailers just about everyday

yes we are rotating in fontana ca. And pnd are doing line runs in the day,:moon2::6788:
 
Their supposed limiting of pt is what surprised me when they hit us with that. In the past we loaded a CGO and CIN pt everynight along with our own in those lanes, but they were cut bc of the cost. Dunno....

Jesus its like all the LTL companies are catching the con-way freight purchase trans virus..I cant tell you how many pulls leave my yard everynight..We have a lot just so CRST and Werner can drop their empties.. But I have to hand it to CRST and their business model..They have managed to get business from alot of the bigger named carriers..I guess I too may have to follow the gold rush.
 
The real kick to the groin comes when they won't let company drivers get a little extra coin and hire these pt guys instead. Can't tell you how many times I have volunteered for weekend linehaul only to see the company hire pt...
