What a terrible way to plug a certain brand.

Every brand can get that kind of fuel mileage, or even better, running in the south doing 62-65 mph.

Every brand can be reliable.

The key to their succcess:

Co-owned by partners Aurelio Aleman, Sergio Lagos and George Gomez, U.S.A. Logistics Carriers specializes in serving factories south of the border and transporting finished goods all over the United States.

Think about how much more money they could save by not trading their trucks in every 3 years. If kenworths were so great, that wouldn't be needed.

My main intent of message is:

WITHIN the last 6 years how many co.'s/O-O have gone BELLY-UP?

Why is this co. growin s-o fast? -Because they avoided the inefficient Peterbilt FUEL HOGS? -I really think this is one of the reasons.

I HATE plugging ANY ONE brand, matter of fact I REMOVE co. emblems from anything I drive. I'm not their advertiser.

God Bless ALL!

Lots.

2% of their revenue. The reason they're successful is because they're specialized.

I was speaking more of the article itself.

I agree, they're ugly too!

IF the *SECRET* to success is s-o simple...., why don't more co.'s/O-O SPECIALIZE????

-just courious

[allan5oh]

Because they're lazy.

You don't necessarily have to haul specialized freight to "specialize".

Could just be better service, integrated IT, overnight service, etc..

Could just be better service

That's it, right there.

A lot of drivers and/or company big wigs don't understand that. If you specialize in cheap freight with a 75% on-time delivery rate, that's what your whole business is going to revolve around. It's the carriers that run 98% or 99% on-time delivery that basically write their own ticket. In todays JIT world, an on-time carrier can set their rates, pay their drivers, and roll in the money.

Proving once again my theroy that you can add value to ANYTHING1

That story doesn't tell you anything about how successful they are. The earned $100,000,000 in revenue...what's that tell you? Not much except the volume of business they do. With very few exceptions most trucking companies had higher revenue this year than in 2006. With very few exceptions, most trucking companies had significantly less profit than 2006. Many had losses. I've seen their recruiting literature and wasn't terribly impressed. I'll bet you'd have a hard time getting them to back up their statement regarding pay with hard numbers...I've seen what they broker freight out for :shock: :lol:

Don't believe everything you read.
