Favorite Social Platforms
There is a lot going on in the social world. I focus on LinkedIn, but have seen many going to X (aka Twitter) and some references to Reddit. Meanwhile, many drivers are in Facebook groups. What social platform is your favorite to talk about freight?

LinkedIn is basically it for me. There is one site on Facebook called Let's Talk Liquid that I also follow and it is about bulk trucks. Don't do Twitter, X or whatever it is called today or Instagram, TikTok, etc.

What do you think the average Freight payment term with a shipper is? Net 15, Net 30, Net 60, Net 90? Whats the longest payment term you allow and why?

I know of a "company" that deliberately slow paid their invoices especially at the end of the month, quarter, etc. It made the books look better, but sure did make it difficult for us in procurement trying to negotiate terms in good faith when all along we knew that Finance was rewarded and encouraged the slow payment. We were told that's just the way it is...welcome to xyz company.

Shock, Nuclear and Reptile Verdicts
Cannot remember who asked( apologies) about the links and lawyers book teaching other lawyers how to sue carrier. The first link is my self promoting of my article from LI. The second is the presentation done by the US attorney and Canadian attorney at the Insurance presentation. If you are an asset carrier operating in IL, CA, TX and FL top 4 states. If you are a carrier please do not advertise for the people trying to rock our industry. (1) Lawyers hunting payouts: Shock, Nuclear and Reptile Verdicts growing. | LinkedIn

@Bill Robinson I live in North Texas and it's the few bad actors out there that keep these lawyers in business. They have painted all trucking companies with the same brush.

@Bill Robinson Not sure if Matt is on here? He definitely is one of my favorites. He explains things in a such a way that us non-legal folks can actually understand.

What 12 years of not deleting emails looks like
After 12 years of collecting, sending, and receiving emails my inbox was finally closing in on 50Gigs. Over 184,000 emails in my inbox folder. With over 37,000+ emails sent. 99% of those email contacts started with a cold call. Thought I’d share, too me this is some cool crazy personal stats. The deleting part is sad and also very very time consuming, I have learned my lesson!

I have an old AOL account that creeps up to over 20,000 sometimes...I only need less than 1% of them if that...have to spend some time someday purging and converting the good ones to my gmail account.

Foreign countries & entities involvement in US transportation
Is it concerning to anyone else the rate at with foreign entities are getting involved in the us trucking market? It's 9.1% of the US GDP and revenue that is going to these companies isn't being taxed in the united states. Also the security risk in foreign governments being able to gain location data and understand the most needed shipping lanes is a scary thought to me.

The supply chain is truly global in nature. There are foreign companies involved in many aspects of supply chain such as freight forwarding, ocean shipping, isotank providers, bulk vessels, etc. Many of the bulk liquid terminal companies are foreign owned such as Vopak and Stolthaven. The security issues are valid and something that should be monitored. I'm not an accountant or tax person, so I do not have any knowledge about who is getting taxed where.
