The Cartage Carriers we use now in the East, pick-up the freight at our terminals and if they make outbound pick-ups, they return it to the same terminal. This looks and sounds like they want to give distant remote areas with very little profitable bill counts to Cartage, and keep our P&D drivers in the dense profitable areas. For example, Deer Park, Li #116, only goes to the end of the island [river head] 2 days per week, because, the accounts are low revenue, and not worth the fuel or man hrs. We will still be doing the Linehaul. No Cartage outfit is going to run their trucks to #123 or 135, with a few pieces on them. Besides, this is just proposed, it hasn't been heard yet.
jmo, I welcome more diversified opinions.
