That statement says it all, about what the largest problem in the trucking industry is!
I can not for the life of me understand why any trucking company allows a customer to dictate the manner in which that trucking company does business. If a Shipper, Consignee or Broker wants to be in control of a separate entities business...they should buy that entity!!!
This BS of demanding lower rates on head-haul, because a truck will be picking up a load after getting empty, or the BS of the next load rate being halved, because the truck was not from that area, is just that! BS!!!
