What will it hold in store for those of us in this business? We are never really sure. Some customers, when signing contracts, want everything slanted in their favor, and then still want to renogiatate the so called CONTRACT. Fuel and FUEL CHARGES: Who knows where this will end up. Since no one has a crystal ball that really works, everyone has to be flexible in chaging and paying Fuel Surcharges. I am always amazed that when shipping by Airfreight and Ocean Freight you do not have a choice this is the surcharge, pay it or don't ship it. Yet we in the Trucking Industry continue to shoot ourselves in our own foot (OR FEET FOR THAT MATTER). More and more drivers want to start their own companies. I am all for the Entreprenurial spirit. At what cost though. Chasing the same freight we already carry. Thinking undercutting rates is the only way to obtain business. Those that know me, have often heard me say, UNTIL WE ACT LIKE PROFESSIONALS WE WILL NOT BE TAKEN PROFESSIONALY OR FOR THAT MATTER SERIOUSLY. We are also looking to the Government to work with us, and for their support! Let's all work together for the PROFESSIONALISM of our industry and for everyone invovled in the Transportation industry as a COLLECTIVE GROUP.
