Freight dispatchers don’t have it easy. What else is new? Actually there are several items which have been added to the freight dispatcher plate. In fact lately it seems they’ve had to pull out a second plate. The freight market has been punishing truck drivers and freight dispatchers have had to work extra hard to […]
I speak with many owner operators on a daily basis. That’s my job. We lease on owner operators. Every one of these folks are looking to lease onto one of the best owner operator companies. Through our conversations, I learn a lot about many of the different owner operator companies, their offerings, and more importantly […]
You might’ve asked yourself this question as you watched the markets crumble over these past few months. What’s the best trailer type during this pandemic?
