Paul,

Thanks for the post - that would be me

Rusty-Rocker you are on target


The wheels on the bus go round & round ......

By that - the economy operates smoothly when a fair
price is paid for goods & services - it is in everyones' interest
to help keep the wheel turning

Transport for me is a break even proposition
but I get to see the country - haul some nice cars
and trucks - meet some great people

Yesterday I dropped a 38' GMC off in Ohio for
a guy who had waited & waited for cheap transport
from South Dakota that never happened

There is a " hard cost " for vehicle transport
if you expect your vehicle to ship on the same
trailer from pick up to drop off with the same
driver

Bulk transport thru a broker is below cost transport

Independent statistics reflect a 70% to 80% satisfaction
rate from customers who choose to report their
experience

Do you perform your job at a satisfaction rate
of 70% to 80% ?

It all depends on what you are content to settle
for - that is a personal choice
