Using these pups have some logic of not having to break down full van loads to be able to fill out a pup with a large order and not have to touch it from origin to destination.
But the way the back axel is fixed on these pups,they are like driving diving boards,with no flex boxes bouncing down the highway.
Whatever you run over with the back wheels causes whatever is inside to fly around if it isnt lashed down.
I heard some of our outbound dock crew talking about the company may be going to try using vans?
Thats all that New penn uses to haul their freight,and they have few claims with fallen freight.
The load racks are good as long as the freight is secured,but if theres any room for skids to move in a pup than they will just have that much farther to go off a load rack,from the outbound terminal to the final inbound terminal, theres a lot of damage before the freight is unloaded for delivery.
Its hard enough to make money in LTL with the deep discounts,if we could cut the claims down,we'd be able to realize that much more profit.
