Exactly right.
I've already noticed the usual "it's GOT to be there in the morning" attitude has somewhat diminished over the last 2 or 3 weeks...but my paycheck is also beginning to take a significant DROP.
Shippers and recievers are going to HAVE to get on board in this new game. They need to learn NOW that it's going to cost them money to have a companies equipment and driver sitting idle on their property.
And companies need to learn NOW that cheap frieght will not stay cheap freight if it's left on the dock until it's actually profitable to move it with any individual truck.
I predict that by June...CSA 2010 (and insurance dictators) is going to cause hundreds more small to medium-sized companies to close their doors and THOUSANDS of drivers to lose their CDL priveleges.
Not saying it won't be deserved by some...but a LOT of good drivers and a few decent companies won't be around this time next year.
