Have you ever had to work with Homeland Security, FBI, ATF, Police or any other Government agency in regards to "Suspect Freight" in your possession (Carrier or Warehouse)? Have you ever had the Dogs come through your warehouse, onto your terminal dock or into your truck/trailer looking for illegal contraband? When presented with a warrant, do you cooperate? I'm just so surprised to hear the professionals we work with from these agencies tell us how many people in Freight Transportation do NOT cooperate. The funniest thing is the last time we had one of these agencies visit our facility, I (The Owner) was working in Miami. lol I looked suspicious, until they found out I was there working on a Government contract. lol Its our position that its best to cooperate and do everything you can to help the authorities. Who are these people in Transportation Logistics that don't?

Guys, I am in the Payments space. I am not a Broker. I have a Dispatching operation asking me to plug him in with active Freight Brokers. He supplies me with 2-3 Carrier accounts a week so I know he is legit. My question for the group is this. Who here works with Dispatchers to source capacity? Has it been a good or bad experience?

The story of inflation & cost to do business continues to get bleaker for our carrier friends out there. With most freight I see on the board barely being above this $2.27 operating cost estimate is the damage more then people are aware of to the carriers? https://www.ccjdigital.com/economic-trends/freight-demand/article/15678318/permile-cost-of-trucking-hit-record-high-in-2023?utm_medium=email&utm_content=06-26-2024&utm_campaign=CM_NL_CCJ+Daily&utm_source=CM_NL_CCJ+Daily&ust_id=3c8edb5b1c3638e951e9bedb13d445f98bb2419a&oly_enc_id=9629J8650390I5N

I’ve been in business 12 years and have never factored anything. Those that do Factor What is the biggest motivator for you? Cash Flow? Collections? Your Credit? Anything else? Is it worth the percentage you pay out and that’s not hitting your books as part of your profit?
