We're not moving away from pups in Linehaul anytime soon. I'd have to guess we've purchased around 5000 new vans the last 2 or 3 years mainly to replace the older equipment and due to a lack of equipment. We've been renting trailers for local work at my barn for months and there's no sign of us giving those back anytime soon.

First I have heard of this. I don't think that they are changing anything. They need to get a lot of older trailers replaced .A lot of the older trailers don't have any way to secure freight .No tie down points or D rings etc. The new trailers are well equipped with drop down logistics bars and multiple tie down points.

I used to pull vans 80% of the time during Hub runs.

While I have heard of the Mason Dixon Line being referred to as The Stupidity Line I never heard that the dummies resided to the north of it.
Gotta mix things up from time to time. Us hillbillies take a beating down this way. lolWhile I have heard of the Mason Dixon Line being referred to as The Stupidity Line I never heard that the dummies resided to the north of it.

As for that beating, you ain't seen nothing yet... I would like to thank you and yours for taking your fair share of the Amazon business. And I know that I'm speaking on behalf of my comrades as well. Plus do keep us appraised on the trials and tribulations of handling those deliveries...misery loves company you know. Feel free to ask for pointers, we have plenty of experience in that department. One thing I can tell you is that the richer they are the less they tip.
I learned that delivering flowers as a teenager. Middle-class people almost always tip better than white collar folks. A buddy of mine delivered some flowers to a famous IndyCar driver and didn't even get a damn dollar!

Yes they are but everyone knows about them and they all look the other way. We had one guy (true story here) had a collect shipment to a house and he came back with a check for $20.00 more than the freight bill. He had the gall to tell the office that the extra $20 was his tip and he actually expected to get it. The company refunded the consignee the excess money. If it was me that did that I'd have been fired.
