I know that Jevic sent out notices to all their customers Friday that they would not be picking anything up. We had a major shipper on Friday backstrip 3-4 full loads for Jevic and throw them on us. We should see some increase in freight but for how long nobody knows.
I doubt they will be the last to go in 2008 with the cost of fuel sky high. The companies with drivers running hundreds of miles a day each to pick up a few skids here and there are probably getting the worst of it right now.

Yea, it's SO SAD for me to want the company I would like to retire from to do well. Yea, it's a harsh reality, but what happened to them is done, and we can either capitalize from this or let one of our competitors do it. Keep in mind I didn't wish them any misfortune.

You should "keep in mind" that all the freight companies I am sure have the same thought as you but it doesn't need to be posted.

Ok, don't let it happen again. ( take it easy, just kidding) A little thin skinned me thinks.

Go to bed, the phone will be ringing in a few hours now that you have all that Jevic freight to haul.
