Central Transport | POLL...Is your terminal using outside contractors?

[biglarry28]

Wanted to poll you and find out if your terminal is using outside contractors? Either agents to deliver P&D freight or contractors to haul your linehaul freight.
Chicago runs linehaul contractors to Minneapolis
Omaha gives their freight outside the city I believe to NTC and they have Hill Bros. running some linehaul
Sioux Falls now gives their west freight to Magnum
Des moines gives their outlying freight to Boone Freight? and Panama

Any others out there? Just curious

Nashville has been using contractors ever since they bought milan. To go to kansas city, new jersey, east penn, and virgina. Once c.k came in and stopped almost all lay over runs they started to use mpre and more daily. Sad to say this, but this is the normal LTL linehaul operations for almost all LTL COMS.

Toledo is using them for linehaul, while 5-10 drivers sit home each night.

I see Titan trailers in my yard

The new lex terminal was using them for the long runs and the drivers threatened to quit so they moved the contract drivers to LVL now and there running the col mkm and other long runs its a bunch of bs really

 

[had enough]

contractors will move remaining freight in the system when board of directors close the u.s.
