If I were malicious and vengeful - which I am not I would give them Gill X's phone # .... and then they can get rail AND truck service for a rate that is unbetaable ...

I always wondered, who even hauls that? seems like 10-15 brokers posting the same load

we used to haul lots of them for McFeeters back about 15 years ago. Got us through a tougher time of no outbound.

 

[dad2andrew]

We used to haul a lot from them as well. Can't remember where they were going, but likely got us into an area consistently that we had a load waiting for us.

 

[BPOVFB]

In a past life - I certainly was guilty of taking a few BC Shavings loads(Princeton/Merritt). That's when you used to be able to pickup decent inbound out of the US though (and the rate outbound justified it)

It will be even more competitive if things will go CN way...

I'd also give alot of credit to their top operations guy, Ed Harris. But short fast trains that run on a schedule isn't really a new idea...
