They had some of the worst contractor equipment at the rail. And they ran all the garbage loads we didn't want to run.

Be interesting to see how that affects the local rail. I'm not sure how many trucks they had under contract here, but they were the container stereotype.

To frame this more clearly, they didn't have their own boxes and/or chassis in the rail here. They pulled whatever whenever like DDI that I ran for with the old Ford. I don't know the exact ins and outs but I suspect it's basically load board/spot market in nature.

When I say they ran the crap we didn't want to run, it was because they were what STG calls a "'core carrier" to farm stuff out to.

Basically it meant those paper loads I did when they paid well and outside the normal schedule then I said no more because they stopped paying outside the normal schedule...a core carrier picked up.

My first load as a "core carrier" at DDI was an XPO (now STG) load no one else wanted to do. I found out pretty quick why. But the pictures I took got me hooked on with XPO/STG. They thought the old red Ford LTL looked awesome in front of one of their white and red/black logo containers.

It's bad if the O/O's and drivers don't get paid. I have little sympathy for load brokers and their agents.
